"CLUAIN CHAOIN CHOIRILL FRIARY" >> Mary, This is the Franciscan Friary at Clonkeenkerrill, in Co. Galway. It is located at 613 371 on Discovery map 46. It's about 6 miles SW of Castleblakeney and 4 miles W of Ballymacward. The friary was founded in 1435, etc.. It changed through various Orders (First, Third). The latest information I have on it is from 1618. The ruins and an early cross are still there. I hope to visit the place next year - I've been all around it, but it's always seemed a bit out of the way on my previous trips. If you need more information on the place, references, etc., let me know. I have quite a bit more about the place. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
