Abbey Point, the Ebby, the Wee Ebby is a monastery site of uncertain ecclesiastical status located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site occupies ground underlain by Visean bedrock of the Tyrone Group, a geological formation comprising limestone, mudstone, sandstone and siltstone with subordinate chert, coal and conglomerate. This varied geology would have influenced both the topography and building potential of the location.
The monastery remains poorly defined archaeologically, with limited surviving evidence of its extent, layout or period of occupation. Such ecclesiastical sites in early medieval Ireland often occupied prominent or defensible positions, and their physical remains frequently comprise scattered structural traces, boundary banks or fragmentary masonry rather than coherent standing buildings. The site's preservation is uncertain and documentary records of its foundation, dedication or history appear not to have survived.
Abbey Point is protected by the Historic Environment Division under reference 9462. The monument's survival and future investigation depend on careful site management and archaeological study, which may yet clarify its chronology, religious function and relationship to other early medieval ecclesiastical communities in the region.
