The east claustral range retains a vaulted chamber, the three-arched entrance to the chapter house, roofless, with excellent late C12 arcading, and building to south-east forming part of Priory House. The south range has fragments of the frater and a fine doorway. The cloister garth contains remains of an octagonal lavatorium, late C12, similar to that at Mellifont. A.M.
