A.D. 1202. Some monks of the Cistercian Abbey of Stanley, 

 in Wiltshire, seated themselves in the year 1202, at Lough-Meran, 

 near Kilkenny, then at Athermolt or Athamolt, and lastly at the 

 Vale of St. Saviour, otherwise Duisk, now called Graignemanagh, 

 Co. Kilkenny, where a monastery dedicated to the B.V. Mary was 

 founded for them in 1212 by William Marescall, the elder, Earl of 

 Pembroke. This offshoot was dissolved before 1537, for on the 18th 

 March in that year a pension of £10 per annum was granted to the 

 last Abbot, Charles Mac Murgho O'Cavenagh. [Archdale, 353-4.]
