History
The community was founded before 1224 by Murchad Ua Flaithbertaig, bishop of Annaghdown, on a site formerly occupied by Augustinian nuns. Annaghdown was raised to the status of an abbey ca. 1236. In 1252, Annaghdown was granted letters of protection by Henry III. <br /><br />The abbey survived until the Dissolution, although perhaps in an impoverished state, after which its lands were given to Richard Burke, earl of Clanricarde, in 1572. Only partial ruinous remains of the monastic complex are visible today as the most northerly of the three sets of ruins at Annaghdown.

History
An obscure community known locally as a Premonstratensian abbey but more likely to have been a priory or possibly a dependent parish church. Its affiliation and the sources for its identification as a Premonstratensian community are unclear. Partial ruins are visible at the site which is now a National Monument.

History
Monastic communities existed on Trinity Island in Lough Key from the early Middle Ages, but the Premonstratensian community was founded in 1215 as a priory by Clarus Mag Máilin, archdeacon of Elphin, on land given by Cathal, king of East Bréifne. Some Cistercian monks from Boyle Abbey joined the community in the 1220s. From ca. 1235, Lough Key was elevated to the rank of an abbey. <br /><br />The famous <em>Annals of Loch Cé</em> were written at the community. The abbey survived the initial Dissolution, but was suppressed by James I in 1608. <br /><br />The site was excavated in the 1990s.

History
The Premonstratensian house of Woodburn must have been founded by ca. 1183, when a "Willielmo Priore de Cracfergus" attested two charters of John de Courcy. Woodburn was raised to the status of abbey in 1212. However, it was a small and poor house, with 3 brothers in 1224. <br /><br />Woodburn was suppressed at the Reformation, and the former monastic complex was demolished in the 17th century.

History
Athmoy was founded in 1232 by Clarus Mag Máilin (MacMailin), archdeacon of Elphin. It was never a large community, and was perhaps a non-conventual cell. At the Dissolution, Athmoy was already in ruins; it and its property were granted to one Robert Harrison in 1594. <br /><br />Per Lewis's <em>Topographical Dictionary</em> (1837), "the outer wall still remains with a burial place attached." Nothing is visible at the site today.

History
The Premonstratensian priory of Killamanagh was likely located on the site of an early medieval monastery. It may originally have held the status of abbey. <br /><br />Indulgences were granted in 1399 and 1428 for repairs for the monastic complex and church. Killamanagh appears to have been a site of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. The priory was suppressed ca. 1542, and today only some fragmented ruins survive.

History
Trinity Island in Lough Oughter was likely home to an early medieval monastery. The Premonstratensian priory there was formally established ca. 1237 at the instigation of Clarus MacMailin, although the first brothers did not arrive from Lough Key until 1250. In the early 1400s, the priory suffered financial difficulties, but appears to have recovered by the end of the century. <br /><br />Lough Oughter Priory was suppressed ca. 1585. Its monastic complex was in ruins by 1646, and the site is now in private hands.

Founded by ca. 1250; moved to Woodburn ca. 1326
History
The abbey was a wealthy one and a place of pilgrimage owing to its possession of a relic of the True Cross. Whiteabbey was badly damaged during the Bruce Invasions of Ireland in the 1310s. In the 1320s, the brothers moved to Woodburn. <br /><br />Some ruins were still extant up to the 1920s, when the last remaining part of the abbey, the ruins of the chapter house, were demolished.
