The National Monuments Service's description
Possible building associated with Tralee Dominican friary (KE029-236001-) described by Cuppage (1986, 383) as follows; 'In 1584 the possessions of the Dominican Friary in Tralee included 'a house with 2 acres near the town of Dingle' (Archdall 1873, 2, 248). A field E of Dingle known as 'Garranabraher' has been identified as the location of this property (Hickson 1888, 445). There is no trace of any feature at the site and it seems likely that the foundation was not very extensive'.
