What is recorded here

Benedictine priory founded here in c. 1202 by William de Burgo, but 'no later record has been found so that it seems probable that the priory failed at or soon after the founders death in 1205' (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 104). Exact location of foundation not known. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
