About the site:

The Dominican Priory of St. Mary Magdalen in Drogheda was a frequent site of submission, with twelve instruments recounting distinct submission events. The notarial instruments describe the submissions as occurring "within a certain room," sometimes also described as the king's room. The priory had a relatively brief run: founded by Luke Netterville in 1224, it was on the verge of ruin by the mid-fifteenth century.

How was it located?

Although only the tower remains visible, the location of the priory is well attested. See the site record for a full description of the extant remains.
