Dear Thomas.
I don't know it is of any help for you, but there is a small village in
Brittany named Locrist. It is situated few miles North-East from Le Folgoet,
north coast. Another village very close from Locrist is named
Plouvenez-Lochrist. Nothing on the map I've look at indicate a priory or ruins.
Claire
P.S.: "Loc" means "localite", but I don't know what means "rist".
