In late 13th or early 14th century, an Augustinian monastery was built in Cork,[3] and was occupied by the friars until at least the rebellion of 1641, and possibly as late as 1700.[2]
The abbey tower was used by John Churchill (later the Duke of Marlborough) as a vantage point and battery during the Siege of Cork in 1690.[4] The siege sought to suppress an uprising in the city and its association with the expelled Catholic King of England, James II.
