Muckross Abbey (Irish: Mainistir Locha Léinand Mainistir Mhucrois) is a ruined Franciscan friary located in the Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland. Previously known as the "Friary of Irrelagh", the abbey was founded in 1448 for the Observantine Franciscans by Donal McCarthy Mor. Today the abbey is largely roofless, but retains most of its original walls.
