This record refers to a possible nunnery in Killybrone townland. Neary (1913-14, 14) lists it as ‘Cill Foreland, a long vanished nunnery in Killybrone, near Mullaghorne’. It may have been associated with a church (MA015-060001-) and graveyard (MA015-060002-), which according to the 1838 OS Letters (O’Flanagan 1927, 287-8 (124)) and local tradition was located on summit of the ridge in the W part of the townland, close to a destroyed ringfort (MA015-048---), Mullaghorn Fort. However, no trace of a church or nunnery is now evident on the ridge top.

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.
