Recorded monuments

• MO009-037 Crannog
  Description

  Situated at the centre of Convent Lake, which was called Spark’s Lake (OS 1834). This is a subrectangular lake (dims c. 180m NW-SE; c. 150m NE-SW) in Monaghan town, and it is c. 500m SW of the town centre. A map of 1591 depicts Macmahoon’s house on an island in the lake (Mooney 1957, Pl. 12), but one of Bartlett’s map of 1602-03, which has been thought to depict this crannog (O’Sullivan 1998, Pl. 58) is a representation of Roosky Lake (pers. comm. Grace Moloney 2012) with its two crannogs (MO012-050----; MO012-051----). This crannog is likely to have been the ‘caislean’ or castle of Mac Mahon mentioned in 1492 (AU; AFM). It is now a subcircular overgrown mound (dims 16m N-S; 14m E-W; H 0.7m), and erosion on the N and W shores reveals a matrix of boulders (dims c. 0.2-0.3m). The tops of four oak piles can be seen on the N side. The mound shelves off into deep water within 3-4m and a boulder kerb can be seen beneath the water. (Smyth 1954, 4) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. See the attached image of the 1591 map showing the Franciscan abbey and Macmahoon's house on the crannog, after Mooney 1957, Pl. 2 Date of revision: 13 December 2017

• MO009-060001 Burial
  Description

  According to a note in the IFC Schools MSS (957, 157), 'the monks from the monastery, murdered by English soldiers in either 1540 or 1589 are thought to be buried near the holy well which was on the site of the present provincial bank'. Its precise location is not known. See this web-page accessed on 12/12/2017: https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4742056/4731389 Date of revised upload: 14 December 2017

• MO009-060002 Religious house - Franciscan friars
  Description

  A Franciscan friary was founded in 1462 by Phelim McMahon, but suggestions by Archdall (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 255) that it may have been on an older church site can be discounted (McKenna 1920, 1,3). Phelim McGuire was buried there in 1519 and Ruaraí Mac Redmond Mac Mahon was dragged from sanctuary there and murdered in 1539 (AU). The friary became Observant in 1567, and in 1589 it was sacked by English forces under the Lord Deputy, Sir William FitzWilliam, when the guardian and five others were killed. However, this is recorded under 1540 (AFM) when it might equally well have been perpetrated by a force under the Lord Deputy, Lord Leonard Grey. FitzWilliam left a garrison at the friary, but it was probably withdrawn after the battle of Clontibret in 1595 (Ó Mearáin 1956). Its lands were granted initially to Edward White, but these lands were granted to Edward Blayney in 1606 and confirmed to him in 1612 (Coyle 1980). He is said to have built a castle (MO009-060003-) from the materials of the friary, of which no trace remains. An image of the friary survives on a map of c. 1590 (Mooney 1957, Pl. 12) which shows a simple rectangular structure with a tower attached on the N side of what may have been the junction of the nave and chancel. The tower has battlements and a pointed roof, but a cloister and other buildings are not depicted (Mooney 1955, 140-1) and probably did not exist. The ruins of the friary are also illustrated on Bartlett’s map of c. 1602 as a more complex building at a distance from the town, but this is probably fanciful about the relative locations of these features. In 1835 the OS recorded that in the rear of a large house on the Diamond opposite Glaslough St., which was thought to be Blayney’s castle (MO009-060003-), were ‘some old walls, said to be the remains of an old Abbey, whose burying ground in common with that of the church (MO009-060012-) would seem to have extended beyond its present bounds, as in levelling that open space before the old Gaol a quantity of human bones were dug up..’ (Herity 2012, 175). This account was followed by Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 384). These descriptions would place it between the Diamond and Convent Lake, probably in the vicinity of the Court house and the parish church. Archaeological testing (96E0025; 96E0293) over an extensive area here failed to produce any evidence of such a structure (Swan 1997a; 1997b). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. See the attached images from c. 1590 (MO009-060002-_1copy) and from Bartlett in 1602 (MO009-060_1copy) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revision: 14 December 2017

• MO009-060007 Bastioned fort
  Description

  Situated on relatively high ground to the NW of Monaghan town. There was a small settlement at Monaghan in 1589-91 when the lord deputy, Sir William FitzWilliam, took advantage of a Mac Mahon dispute to establish a garrison here at the friary (MO009-060002-). The garrison was probably abandoned after the battle of Clontibret in 1595 but it was re-established by John Berkley in 1602 (Livingstone 1982, 90-4). In 1604 Sir Edward Blayney was appointed seneschal or governor of the county and the garrison, and two years later he received extensive lands around the town and around what would become Castleblayney (Duffy 1981. 14, fig. 5). He commenced to build a house (MO009-060003-) for himself at Monaghan. In 1606 Sir John Davies, the attorney general, described the town as ‘…consisting of divers scattered cabins or cottages, whereof the most part was possessed by the cast soldiers of that garrison. In the northmost part thereof there is a little fort, which is kept by the foot company of Sir Edward Blayney, who is seneschal or governor of the county by patent’. A map of Richard Bartlett of c. 1602-03 shows the town as a fortified enclosure with fourteen thatched houses and eight bastions. This is a fanciful idealised fortified town, which did not exist at Monaghan then, but the plan does show the ruins of the friary (MO009-060002-) in the foreground and this fort that was mentioned by Davies in the background. Hayes-McCoy (1960, 16) suggests that this fort was built in 1602. Locally it was thought to have been where a new jail had been built in 1824 and the County Hospital is now. The last remnant of it was a tree-covered mound recorded by Coote (1801, 171) and in 1835 in the Ordinance Survey Letters (Herity 2012, 176). This is followed by Lewis (1837, 2, 384) with the additional information that silver coins had been found here including one of Henry VIII and another of James I. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. See the attached view of Monaghan town by Bartlett (c. 1602) with the fort in the background.
