What is recorded here

On an undulating low-lying landscape. A friary which may have been Dominican or Franciscan was founded here by O'Conor Rua, probably in the 15th century. In 1585 when it was granted to Edward Crofton it was described as Friancisan Third Order, and consisted of a church, cemetery and a quarter of land (Gwynn and Hadcock 1980, 275; Gormley 1989, 147-8). It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Field system (RO-028-010---) is just to the SW, on the other side of a NW-SE stream, and the road (RO028-008002-) runs NE towards Ogulla well (RO022-106003-).
