What indeed was a "Cloghinkelly"?

Present remains of Church at Kilmore

After watching the talk on Dermot F Gleeson by Danny Grace as part of the Gleeson Clan Gathering I felt his research on Tipperary would have a lot to offer.
Looking through the papers he wrote on JSTOR the first one that caught my eye was
"What was a "Cloghinkelly". Included in The Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland in 1953, this short piece that he wrote intrigued me. One because I've never heard of a Cloghinkelly and two because it relates to a few early Christian sites that I have been looking at over the last few years.

Remains at Latteragh

He refers to some documents from the 1600s which relate to the holdings of church lands in the Diocese of Killaloe. Included within in these holdings are a Cloghinkelly. So to resurrect a question that to my knowledge hasn't been answered, just what was one of these?

Gleeson quotes a line "the vicarage of Lattrah, and ye Cloninkellies of Kilmore, Kilteely, Clonibrah and Kiltinanleth" he also mentions the "Cloghinkelly of Yohall arra" and "ffinah, (and) Killinasullah".
He goes on to propose that it is a phonetic spelling of the Irish Clochan Cailleach or "Women's House".
Is this a suggestion that women lived within or near the monasteries also?

(Kiltinanleth appears to be just north of Templemore where a church and enclosure was meant to have been located but there are no remains today).

There is the remains of a nunnery near Shanagolden known as Mainistir na Caileach Duff. So I think we can conclude the Caileach could also apply to a nun and therefore the translation could be "Nun's House". I wonder were these some kind of nunneries attached to these sites? Both Lattragh, Kilmore and Youghal Arra were all home to monasteries / monastic enclosures.

Perhaps it was a building for women coming to worship at the Churchs of these monasteries. Was segregation based on gender practiced at early monastic sites in Ireland?
I know at larger monasteries such as Clonmacnoise there were a number of concentric enclosures of which the general public were only allowed access to the outside ones. 

Lastly Cailleach is often translated as witch (See Sliabh na Cailleach in Co. Meath). Although the least likely, could a Cloghinkelly be a "Witches house"?
