  22. "This seems to be an abbey that is no longer extant and is lost to history. Confusion exists regarding Glangragh. Thompson, Clapham, & Leask, confirming this confusion, states ""The site is said to be in Waterford, but is quite uncertain. It seems to have been in the [diocese] of Cloyne, but, by confusion between Clonensis and Cluanensis, has also been said to be in [diocese] Clonmacnoise, either in co. Westmeath or King's co. Archdall for some obscure reason placed int in Down. The founder and date of foundation are alike unknown, but 1200 is the latest date at which it was colonised from Inishlounaght"" Thompson, Clapham, & Leask (1931) p18. Janauschek accepts that until further evidence is obtained we must assume that it was in the diocese of Cloyne, County Cork Janauschek (1877) p.204" Stalley (1987) p. 239 calls it Glanawydan gives the foundation dates of 1171/1200 and states that it is in Waterford

  43. Sir James Ware states: "Friery of Beaubec . It was a cell of the Monastery of Bec in Normandy, of the Order of Benedictines, by Donation of Walter de Lacy, Lord of Meath, under King John. But it was afterward made a cell of the Monastery of Furness in Lancashire in England, of the Order of Cistercians. For the Abbot of Bec having obtained leave from King Edward III to sell, sold that cell to the Abbot of Furness. Bec in French denotes either the beak of a Bird or the land's end. Janauschek states "In this place in the east of Meath, some Irish authors contend that there existed a Cistercian abbey, which was founded by Walter de Lacy, lord of Meath, a daughter of Bell-Bec first (in Normandy), and afterward became a cell of Furness." Janauschek further notes, that the Mother Abbey Bel-Bec was a daughter of Savigiac and was founded in 1118 and was crossed over to the Cistercians in 1147
