Monaincha Abbey in Co. Tipperary, Ireland. Not ancient and therefore not on here but it is a fantastic site. Really hidden away but also open to the public. I have never bumped into anyone else down there. I have heard it called Tipperary's best kept secret. It was on an island in a now drained lake so it stands above the rest of the landscape.

Here's a link for the place on Megalithomania:

And one on my own site (shameless self plug):

Now that we've exposed all out hidden gems (no that's not a euphemism) we better hope they stay that way...
