The National Monuments Service's description
According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1988, 318) 'in 1228 it was stated that a house of nuns adjoined the abbey of Cistercian monks [TS083-017----] …The nuns probably lived well away from the monks' enclosure, possibly serving in the almonry or lay infirmary beside the outer gate and chapel'. This convent remains unlocated within the townland.
