What is recorded here

Gwynn & Hadcock (1970, 381) recorded that Bishop Aed mac Bricc (of Killare) visited a monastery of nuns at 'Druimard'. They record how Colgan (Act 422) suggested that this may be 'Kill-aird', Co. Wicklow. However they believed it to be Dromard in County Sligo. It may have located in the vicinity of a church (SL019-150001-) and graveyard (SL019-150002-). There are no visible upstanding remains of this foundation. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 17 July 2013
A religious house at Dromard, possibly a monastery of nuns, was visited by Bishop Aed mac Bricc of Killare in the 7th century; its identification with Killaird in Co. Wicklow has been suggested, though the site remains unclassified and its wider significance is unclear.
