The National Monuments Service's description
According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1988, 357), 'a hospitium or Maison Dieu' was founded at Youghal in 1185 and had become a dependency of Bath Priory by 1306. A lazar house (CO067-095----), which was connected with it, stood on a hill above it. The location of this hospital is unknown. (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 357; Lee 1996, 36; Hayman 1879b, 38)
