What is recorded here
There are references to a cell of Dominicans (Nicholls 1972-3, 37) or Franciscans Third Order (Gwynne and Hadcock 1973, 273) at Knockvicar in the late 16th century when it possessed a house and c. 40 acres. D'Alton's description (1845, 114-5) and local tradition locates it on Knockvicar Hill, overlooking a loop of the Boyle River c. 200-270m distant NW-E, but no feature is visible at ground level.
