In pasture 40m W of the Augustinian nunnery of Monasternagalliaghduff (LI019-026009-) and immediately W of the Fish-pond (LI019-026006-). Post-1700 summer-house built with medieval fabric of the nunnery standing on SW corner of the walled garden of the Old Abbey House which stands 60m to N. Depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular-shaped structure located at the S end of the formal garden of Old Abbey House. Identified by T. J. Westropp as the Summer House [B], he describes significant alteration to the building with a tenant having ‘inserted a doorway removed from the western door of the church, and a tall (but now curtailed) window from the refectory. A third window in the north face was brought from some uncertain location, possibly the “readers recess” in the refectory’(1904, 62). Westropp described the window as having ‘a trefoil head and refers to an ogee-headed light from the domicile that also is inserted into the ‘Summer House’ (ibid.). Google Earth Orthoimage taken 08/04/2015 shows a line of mature trees in the area of structure.
