The Urban Survey of Westmeath (Bradley et. al. 1985, 120) recorded that the extent of the Dominican priory (WM019-089004-) in 1548 mentions 'an old hospital now thrown down' in a field called 'Spyttelfield', then owned by the Dominicans (White 1943, 290-1). This was presumably located in the adjoining townland of Spittlefield located northeast of the town, perhaps in the vicinity of the present Mullingar Mental Hospital (Lee 1974-5, 227).

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.
