The National Monuments Service's description
According to Wood-Martin (1882, 103), 'St. Fechin, in the seventh century, founded an abbey' which he located 'probably in the townland of Abbeyville' but 'scarcely a trace of it remains'. The exact location of this is not known and no such site is listed by Gwynn and Hadcock (1970).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
