The National Monuments Service's description
On the S bank of the River Suir, on the E side of Abbey Hill Road in Carrickbeg. The Franciscan friary and subsequent RC church are supposedly built on the site of the initial manor castle (Bradley 1985, 41). It was granted to the friars in 1336 by James Butler, the first Earl of Ormond (ibid.). The first guardian, Friar Clyn, wrote that the said James 'gave the franciscans his castle as a friary at Carrick' (Crowley 1978, 7). There is no trace of the original castle above ground.
