Archaeologists believe they have discovered the site of a 12th Century monastery that was destroyed in 1177.

The Cistercian monastery is near Downpatrick and was known as Erenagh.

It was built 50 years before Anglo-Norman knight John de Courcy’s invasion of Ulster.

A community excavation of the site has found pottery, slate and a medieval coin.
