The National Monuments Service's description
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.
