No surface trace of Abbey founded by Odo, son of Nellan O' Molloy who died in 1454 (Flanagan 1927, 42-3). R C Church now occupies the site of the abbey with a 16th century stone sculpture representing the crucifixion with vine motif and 3 early medieval mortars embedded in the modern churchyard wall. Inside the church there is a 16th century wooden pieta of possible Italian origin (JRSAI 1947, 77). The three mortars display evidence of diagonal stone tooling with four lugs on each mortar.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
