Burriscarra Abbey is a former Carmelite Priory and National Monument located in County Mayo, Ireland.

[1] Burriscarra Abbey is located 1.6 km (1 mile) west of Carnacon, on the northeast of Lough Carra.

[2] Adam de Staunton, whose family later assumed the name MacEvilly (Mac Mhilidh) founded the Abbey c. 1298 for the Carmelites.

[citation needed] The abbey was abandoned before 1383 and in 1413 it was transferred by Pope Gregory XII to the Order of Saint Augustine who already had a friary in Ballinrobe.

Later Charles II granted it to John King and then Sir Henry Lynch whose family kept it until the 19th century.
