This mysterious friary, somewhere in Co. Mayo, first appears in official documents in 1645, implying a foundation about 1643. Papal approval was sought in 1663 and a superior was appointed in 1672. This is the last real evidence for a franciscan connection, although the name remained in use during the eighteenth century. Given a strong local tradition, Killedan, west of Kiltamagh, seems the most likely site.
