Description:
THE present Parish lies on the east bank of the Blackwater. Within this parish was the chief seat and stronghold (Dromana) of the Lord of the Decies. There was also a Friary of Franciscans, occupied by members of the brotherhood till quite recently and recognized as a transplantation of the Youghal Convent - the first Franciscan foundation made in Ireland. The Friars, expelled from Youghal, retired hither to await a lull in the penal storm and perhaps to enjoy such protection as the Lords of the Decies - Dromana FitzGeralds - could afford them. The ancient parish church ruin is of unusual interest and deserves preservation as a national monument.
