In a somewhat convoluted passage, the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, vol. 1, 80) record a local tradition that 'there was a monastery to the east of this old grave yard of Bweeounagh [GA006-030----] ... traces of the foundations of a small abbey called An Mainistir, are pointed out a short distance to the east of the old church' (ibid.). No visible surface traces were noted.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Galway Vol. II - North Galway'. Compiled by Olive Alcock, Kathy de hÓra and Paul Gosling (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
