The remains consist of a single-aisled church with unusual battlemented walls and a fine east window, as well as the east wing of the domestic buildings. The west doorway was added in the 17th century. The south and west wings may never have been completed. At the west end of the church was a tower, the lower part of which was vaulted, but this had already disappeared by 1800.
Location
This was founded in 1457 by Hugh O'Malley for the Augustinian Friars. It is beautifully situated beside a quiet inlet of Clew Bay, and is traditionally the starting point for the pilgrimage to Croagh Patrick.
