Recorded monuments

• RO005-020001 Church
  Description

  Called Eas Mac nEric, it was reputedly founded by St Colmcille in the 6th century (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 30) for Dochonna, who is probably the same person and connected with the Ceinéal Eoghain sept of the Uí Neill (Ó Riain 2011, 269-70). It became the inauguration site of the O'Conor kings of Connaught between 1106 and 1224 (FitzPatrick 1998). Listed as Esmakirk in the ecclesiastical taxation of Elphin in 1306 (Cal. Doc. Irl. vol. 5, 224), it is situated on a S and E-facing slope c. 50m from the N bank of the W-E Boyle River at a point where it turns N. It overlooks a waterfall from which it took its name and a ford (RO05-020005-). It adapted its name to Eas Ui Fhloinn from 13th century coarbs and abbots (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 101). The ivy-clad portions of the N wall (T 1.4m; H 2.5m) and W wall (L 3m) of a church (dim. c. 21m E-W), and two cross-inscribed stones (RO005-020006-; RO005-020007-) of three known in 1988 (RO005-020008-) (SMR file) are are at the S extremity of a D-shaped graveyard (RO005-020002-) (dims. 91m N-S; 70m E-W) which is defined by a masonry wall and which has been extended to the N. Souterrain (RO005-020009-) is in the vicinity of the church, and the roadway (RO005-021----) extends E from the church on the S bank of the river.

• RO005-020002 Graveyard
  Description

  On a S and E-facing slope c. 50m from the N bank of the Boyle River overlooking a waterfall from which it took its name. A D-shaped graveyard (dims. 91m N-S; 70m E-W) defined by a masonry wall which has been extended to N. The remains of Assylin Church (RO005-020001-) is at the S extremity of the original graveyard. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO005-020005 Ford
  Description

  It is related in the tripartite life of St Patrick, that the saint on a return visit to this area was crossing the Boyle River when his chariot was upset. He was using a ford near the waterfall, and henceforth the ford was called Ath Carpait, the ford of the chariot (FitzPatrick 1998, 353). The river is quite narrow at the falls here beneath Assylin church (RO005-020001-), and although there are islands in the river above and below the falls there is no indication that there was ever a ford here.
