What is recorded here
Listed in the SMR (1989) and RMP (1995) as 'Hospital' and 'Hospital, site' respectively. J.C. MacDonagh records in his 'History of Ballymote and the Parish of Emlaghfad' (Dublin, 1936, 192) that 'attached to it was one of the hospitals, founded by St. Attracta, the patroness of the diocese of Achonry.' This 'hospital' is not listed in 'Medieval Religious Houses. Ireland' by Gwynn & Hadcock (1970).
