What is recorded here

Unlocated nunnery within townland described by Carrigan as 'About the middle of the second field south of Kylebeg and joining Carrick Mill, there was an ancient Nunnery, now completely obliterated. The name of the field is Crithacorra (the croft or field, of the Pillar stone). A dozen perches or so eats of the site of the nunnery, in the same field stood the Nunnery grange, or farm-house; pavements beneath the surface still mark the spot; it is known as 'the Orchard' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 62).
