Crosses are believed to be in original locations. Some are decorated. The monks constructed the walls and buildings by hand, using the abundance of stone on the island. Located at the north-eastern summit of the island, this Irish Christian monastery was dedicated to St. Michael between 950 and 1050. The overall layout is believed to be fairly intact. Michael Skellig Monastery can be accessed by boat only between May and September due to winter storms. Near Ring of Kerry. UNESCO World Heritage Sit.
