The National Monuments Service's description
Previously classified as a Monastic complex, this term is now obsolete and no longer used by the Archaeological Survey of Ireland. Re-classified as an ecclesiastical site. Unlocated monastery within the townland of Derrykeel that was founded by St. Mochoernog (O'Flanagan 1927 vol. 2, 36-8).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
