What is recorded here

According to Adams (1881, 492) a church was erected at Balcurris by St. Folloman in the 6th-century. It was dedicated to St. Mac Tail (d.548). In 1167, Gilbert de Nugent bestowed this church to the Abbey of the Virgin Mary. The exact location of this monument is unknown. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26 August 2011
