Westropp (1888, 335), citing the Calendar of State Papers, notes that ‘Quin Friary (CL042-027002-) was dissolved in 1541, and granted two years later to Conor, Baron Ibracken, who, like all his family, protected the monks. Five years later - 1548, September 18 - the abbey and its grounds were granted to Teig M'Conor Brien and Tirlagh O'Brien of Dough. It consisted of "The precincts of the late house of Franciscan Friars at Queyne in Thomond, conteyninge 1 acre in which is one great church now ruinose covered with sclate [CL042-027003-], & stepill greatlie dacied, a church & cloister [CL042-027002-], ... with an orchard and other edifices & also 1 water mill [CL042-027013-] ruinose & prostrate & ten cottages in Queyn village [CL042-027----]’. Quin Friary is also mentioned in an inquisition in 1607 as having a mill in the town (McInerney 2014, 126). This may have been near where the present bridge crosses the River Rine.
