- LE032-067 House - 17th century
Description
Located within Mohill town, on the E bank of a N-S stream that runs into Lough Rinn c. 2.5km to the S at the nearest point. Henry Crofton (d. 1643) had been accumulating land in south Leitrim from the 1610s, including the land of the Augustinian priory (LE032-068001-) that he acquired from Thomas Ashe. He received a grant of 600 acres in 1621 with the rectory of Mohill and consolidated his holding as the manor of Mohill (MacCuarta 2001, 314, fn 36). He was one of only four English or Scottish undertakers to have taken up residence in Leitrim by 1622 (MacCuarta 1999, 130-1). Other branches of the Crofton family were based at the Mote, Co. Roscommon, and in Co. Longford. Sir Morgan Crofton (1733-1802) became the first Baron of Mohill in 1802. Only part of a bawn wall (L 46m) extending NE from the base of a circular corner-tower (ext. diam. 5m; H 3.3m) remain of what was a 17th-century house and bawn. An 18th-century five-bay, two-storey building, owned by the Crofton family (Turley 1944, file no. 146) had become a police station by 1837, but the family had moved to Clooncahir just outside the town by then (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 376). The castle later became a school, but the tower of the bawn was reduced to its present height only in 1977 (Oates 1977). Archaeological testing (98E0201) on the other side of the stream, c. 60m NW of the surviving tower produced no related material (Halpin 2000), and further testing (07E0110) on Castle Street had the same result (Moore 2009). Quernstones from a nearby crannog (LE035-009001-) were kept here (Kane 1886), but their present whereabouts is not known. Archaeological testing (19E0054) on the site of an extension to the library on Castle St. identified the base of another circular tower (ext. diam. c. 5m) from the bawn which is c. 25m NW of the surviving tower. It was excavated under the same licence and is only one course high. An excavated NW-SE wall SE of the tower is from a later structure and is likely to be from the large post-medieval house depicted on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. From the excavated tower the bawn wall is likely to have run N, following the line of Crooked Lane before turning SE to the site of the original house. The bawn would therefore have been a polygonal area (dims c. 75m NW-SE; c. 30-60m NE-SW). The remains of the excavated tower are preserved beneath the pavement outside the library.

- LE032-068001 Religious house - Augustinian canons
Description
Augustinians: Situated on a slight E-facing slope within Mohill town, with a small N-S stream that flows down to Lough Rinn just to the E. A monastery was founded by St. Manchan in the 6th or 7th century (Anon. 1940, 43; Mac Namee 1954, 723), of which nothing survives (Pinkman 1942, 34-46). Manchan was a contemporary of St Cailin of Fenagh (LE025-096001-) and according to the Book of Fenagh would succeed Cailin at that monastery. His feast is on the 14th February, the day before the feast of St. Bearach (Barry) of Termonbarry (RO024-016001-) (Ó Riain 2011, 430). A shrine of St. Manchan was covered in gold on the orders of the High King Ruaraí O’Conor in 1166 (AFM), but it is likely that St. Manchan of Lemanaghan (OF015-004003-) is the saint (Anon 1940, 43), and that house-shaped shrine (Graves 1874) is still extant. The Augustinian rule was introduced into the Mohill monastery early in the 12th century when the church was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, and it is described as a parish church in 1470 (Mac Namee 1954, 724) and the head of the rectory of Muinter Eolais with seven churches (Scully 2019, 137). At the dissolution it was said to have held seven cartrons (townlands), and in 1590 the precinct contained a church, two stone buildings and a cemetery (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 187). In 1620 Henry Crofton acquired the rectory and 600 acres (MacCuarta 1999, 130), but he added a chapel and a tomb for himself (Logan 1971, 227-8). The foundations of a rectangular building (ext. dims 4.35m N-S by at least 3m E-W), probably the remnants of Crofton’s chapel, were in the graveyard in 1991 (SMR file) just W of the present Church of Ireland church which was built c. 1815 (Lewis 1837, vol. 2, 376), but these remains had been removed by 2019. The graveyard is a sub-rectangular area (dims c. 90m N-S; c. 30-60m E-W) defined by masonry walls, with memorials dating from 1754 to the present.

Description
Situated on a slight E-facing slope within Mohill town, with a small N-S stream that flows down to Lough Rinn just to the E.

- LE032-110 Stone head (present location)
Description
Built into the W face of a masonry pillar on the E side of Green Street and c. 0.4m over ground level. It is thought locally to be one of two heads that came originally from a medieval church but were subsequently built into Crofton’s house (LE032-0679001-) until it was demolished in the 1970s when this head was placed here. It is a shield-shaped face (H 0.2m; Wth 0.15m) protruding from a flat stone (Wth 0.4m) that is probably a sandstone. It was first reported by Graham Hull through Hugh Carey, but the location of the other head is not known. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 8 May, 2019
