Tanner has given a list of the various names by which this little priory appears to have been called in early times. St. Syriac, St. Ciriac, St. Carricius, St. Kerrocus, St. Cyret, and St. Julette. It was a small cell of two monks only, dependent on Montacute; and being mentioned by Gervase of Canterbury, it is known to have existed at the least so early as the time of King Richard the First. The church of St. Currie, or Karentocus, was given to the monks of Montacute by their founder. This cell occurs but once in Pope Nicholas’s Taxation. Prior de Sancto Karabo (or by a various reading S^{to}. Karoko) habet de redditu in decanatu de Westweleschire, et Major Tregeschire, £2. In the valuation returned to King Henry the Eighth, and preserved in the Augmentation Office, this small establishment is said to possess a revenue of £11. 1_s._ It appears to have been valued as a separate house from the parent establishment, although the return states, Cella Sancti Kaboci in comitatu prædicto, dicto Prioratui de Monte Acuto appertinens, unde Laurencius Castelton est Prior, est dative et removabile dicti Prioris de Monte Acuto. The site was granted in the 37th of Henry VIII. as parcel of the possessions of Montacute, to Laurence Courtenay. St. Cyric’s Creek, by which this house stood, is said to have derived its name from a saint so called, who was buried there, perhaps in the very place where the small monastery stood. The place has long since acquired the appellation of St. Cadix; it belongs to the coheiresses of the family of Wymond.
