What is recorded here

Located downstream from the nunnery founded by Walter de Ridlesford c. 1200 (KD040-015----). It was levelled prior to 1783, but until recently the ruins were used as a source of building material (FitzGerald 1914, 380-1). If it was not situated on the N side of the river (Graney West townland), it may have been on the S side, which would place it in Coltstown townland. The nearby mill (KD040-043----) contains three pieces of mouldings from either the nunnery or the castle. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy
