English: Cross Priory was founded by Ballintober Abbey as a daughter house of Augustinian canons and confirmed in 1400. The house is possibly connected with the early foundation by St. Brendan on Inishglora, a small island in front of the Mullet Peninsula. The priory was suppressed c. 1584. Inishglora was dedicated to St. Brendan, the priory to the Blessed Virgin Mary, possibly also to the Holy Cross.
