Life was not easy for the monks for, apart from their monastic rule of life, they were subjected to constant attacks by Danes and Norsemen which resulted in the community livestock and other valuables being stolen.
In the mid-ninth century, Danes established a coastal settlement at Annagassen, some eight miles from the monastery. At first this seemed to present another threat to Monasterboice, but there was nothing to fear for the Danes were Christians and spared Monasterboice, although they di

An entry in the Irish Annals tells a strange, but not surprising story. It says that in 969 A. D. " Domhnali, the High King of Ireland, plundered Monasterboice, against the Foreigners, and burned three hundred of them in one house.

It was quite a common event for Irishmen to plunder monasteries occupied by Foreigners in retaliation for similar attacks by their opponents.
