Crooke Preceptory

Together with nearby Crooke Castle, the site passed to the Knights Hospitallers of Killure in 1327.

It was seized at the time of destruction of the monasteries in 1541,[5] and its possessions were reduced to 120 acres.

[1][6] Surrounded by a graveyard, the ruin of the Crooke Preceptory church is described by the Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford (1999) as 24.6 metres (81 ft) in length and 6.75 metres (22.1 ft) in width.

[1] Surrounded by cut-stone walls ("that are 16th/17th century in character") there is a holy well site and ruined tower house nearby.

[1] The latter, known as Crooke Castle, and located less than 50m from the church,[7] was built to a rectangular ground plan and reputedly had a height of approximately 8 metres (26 ft).
