Killagha Abbey, founded c. 1215 by Strongbow's nephew, Geoffrey de Marisco, justiciar. It was reputed one of the richest foundations in all Ireland. Substantial rebuilding occurred in 1445. Only the church and ‘a few indications’ of the priory now remain. Its lands were granted to the Cromwellian major John Godfrey. The nineteenth-century Godfrey seat, Kilcoleman Abbey, the ruins of which can still be seen in Milltown, was apparently named from an earlier Irish monastery thought to have existed here (Barrington, Discovering Kerry, 226–7; also, M. Bence-Jones, Burke's guide to country houses: Vol I: Ireland (London 1978) 165. See further below, n. 132.
