'There is no better introduction to early Irish monasticism and its material remains', Archaeological Review.

‘This delightful little book is an excellent introduction to the early Irish church, deliberately written to meet the needs of the non-specialist reader and the visitor who may wish to examine early church sites. The style is clear and simple and the authors wear their learning lightly. On the other hand, there is no over-simplification and doubts and difficulties are not glossed over. I recommend it heartily’, Donnchadh Ó Corráin, Journal of the Cork Archaeological and Historical Society.
