Drumcliffe Church & W B Yeats in Co. Sligo, Ireland. By chry_martin (Martin Varghese - Ireland)
Colmcille, also called Columba, founded a monastery at Drumcliffe in 574AD at the foot of Ben Bulben Mountain. As typical with most monasteries, a tall roundtower was constructed, though not until around the 10th century. Roundtowers typically acted as bell towers as well as places of refuge against attacks from both Vikings and local clans. A local legend says, The tower will fall when the wisest man in the world passes under it. The monastery suffered extensive fire damage in 1267, then tower was struck by lightning in 1396.
Drumcliffe, County Sligo is set against the striking backdrop of the Benbulben Mountains. It is best known as the final resting place of W.B. Yeats. The poet W.B.Yeats was buried here in 1948, having died in France in 1939. Yeat's great grandfather, John Yeats, was rector in the early 19th century. The Yeats children had many happy childhood memories of holidays in here in Co. Sligo, Ireland.
