The National Monuments Service's description
Mac Leighim (1920, 135) records the local tradition of a convent of nuns at ‘the old town’ of Allenstown, but there are no other references to it, and its location cannot be identified. The old town may have been the cluster of four houses marked on the Down Survey parish map (1656-8) of St. Iberius’ parish in NLI (ms 725; P7384; N6380) at Allenstown.
