Recorded monuments

• MO012-066 Ecclesiastical site
  Description

  Located in woodland at the crest of the W-facing slope of a NE-SW spur. There is a local tradition that there was a convent here dedicated to a holy woman named Una. It was reputedly burned in 1703 by a settler family called Barnett (IFC: 950, 201: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes). It was a daughter house of a convent in Clones, and in crossing the Finn River just to the W by means of stepping stones a precious book was lost (IFC: 950, 473:). The reputed location is a small subrectangular or D-shaped area (dims c. 20m NE-SW; c. 18m NW-SE) defined by the bases of stone walls. The enclosed area is growing laurel and is connected by a laurel walk to Killycoonagh House c. 150m to the ESE. It was probably a landscape feature. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986).
