What is recorded here
The precise location of a possible leper hospital in the townland of Ballykeeffe has not been identified. The Topographical Dictionary of Ireland recorded in 1837 that in the Parish of Mungret 'near the eastern boundary of the parish opposite to Ballincurra, are the ruins of a hermitage, afterwards a leper hospital' (Lewis 1837, 154; Lee 1966, 22-3).
