On the gentle N-slope of a shallow E-W valley through a small river flows W. Modern housing has been constructed immediately to the W and NW. In 1837, according to O’Conor’s Ordnance Survey Letter (Herity 2002, 146 (159)), ‘… in Nurney village is pointed out a spot, where, it is said, there was formerly a nunnery. No remains are now observable; but a very small portion of the site, where some of the walls occupied, is said not to have been dug up, or tilled.’ The nunnery is not mentioned by Gwynn and Hadcock (1970). In 1967, burials (KD027-025001-) were uncovered in the vicinity. No surface traces of the nunnery were visible in 1986 (SMR file). In 1987, archaeological trial-trenching (Excavation Licence no. 97E0142) was undertaken in advance of a private development immediately S of the presumed location of the nunnery. No structures, deposits or finds of archaeological interest were uncovered.

In 1967, human remains, discovered when a field bank was bulldozed, were investigated by the National Museum of Ireland. Further burials were discovered in situ and appeared to be extended inhumations, orientated E-W, in unlined graves. No finds were recovered in association with the burials, but a medieval potsherd (13th to 15th-century) was recovered from disturbed earth nearby. The burials were in the immediate vicinity of a possible nunnery (KD027-025----) and may form part of an associated graveyard.

A larger portion of displaced masonry (2m by 1.3m; H 1.6m) lies immediately to the S.
