• RO039-043 Historic town
  Description

  A monastery (RO039-0430006-) was founded here by St Comán, who died in AD 747. The monastery and its abbots are mentioned occasionally into the 12th century. It was attacked by Vikings in 807 and 823, and in 1050 its round tower was destroyed. The cross of Cong, containing a fragment of the true cross, was made for this monastery in 1123 at the behest of Turlough O'Conor (O Rian and Murray 2005). The monastery was nominated as a diocesan centre at Kells in 1152, but lost this place to Elphin (RO016-127002-) in 1170, by which time the monastery at Roscommn had become an Augustinian house. The town is situated around a low hill, the abbey on its S-facing side, the castle at the foot of the N-facing slope. Roscommon was probably the only town founded by an Irish lord, Turlough O'Conor, although not formally chartered, and the Anglo-Normans conducted raids against it in 1235 and 1260. The town appears to have been defended from the beginning which can be associated with the building of the castle from 1268. However, no walls survive and their course is unknown, but a gate (RO039-043004-) at the S end of Main St. is known from as late as the early 19th century. There are no known grants of murage, but there are references to burgages and a north gate in 1299 and a charter was confirmed in 1310-11. A Dominican friary (RO039-055----) was founded to the S of the town in 1253. The castle (RO039-043001-) was begun by the Crown in 1268 to resist O'Conor aggression, and a settlement, called the 'King's town' developed in relation to it. The castle and town were captured by Ruarai O'Conor in 1315 and the castle was held by O'Conor Don until 1566, but the town declined rapidly from the early 14th century. The town was probably defunct in 1577, when the castle and the lands of the dissolved monasteries were leased to Sir Nicholas Malby. This was transformed into a grant in 1579. Malby converted the castle into a fortified house (RO039-043010-), but his proposal of a new town to the S of the castle was probably never built. After the burning of the town in 1596 and 1599, its focus probably moved to the Market Place and Main St. The town was incorporated in 1613, returning two MPs to the Irish Parliament until 1800, and supported the Parliament side in the 1640s but in 1659 its population was only 94. The site of the early monastery and Augustinian priory (RO039-042006-) is around Church St. and the town probably developed to the N of this. The Castle (RO039-043001-) is c. 1km to the N, and the Dominican friary (RO039-055001-) is c. 500m to the S. A crucifixion plaque (RO039-043005-) was until lately in a garden off Chapel Lane where it is now re-erected, and some 17th century architectural fragments (RO039-043012-) are at the Roscommon County Museum. Archaeological excavations have yet to produce any evidence of settlement (Excavations 1997, 153-4; 1998, 178; 1999, 271; 2000; 2001, 355-6; 2002, 456-8; 2003, 425-9; 2004, 381-2; 2005, 327-8; 2006, 463-5; 2007, 416-7), apart from one lime-kiln (RO039-043019-) on the E side of Main St which may be post-medieval (Carey 2004c), and a 17th century pit (RO039-043020-).

• RO039-043003 Prison
  Description

  A new jail was commissioned in 1814 to replace the 18th century building (RO039-043013-) and had been built by 1824 (Weld 1832, 413-4) to a design by Sir Richard Morrison (1767-1849). The prison was closed in 1886 and partly re-opened in 1887 as an RIC barracks. It was disused from 1921 to 1925 when the Gardaí took it over until 1948 when it was largely demolished. Excavation (03E1245) revealed some walls and surfaces from the prison era (O'Hara 2006) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010 O’Hara, R. 2006 Former gaol, Roscommon: 19th century gaol in I.

• RO039-043015 Market-house
  Description

  A map of Roscommon town by Nicholas Malby c. 1580 shows the town house and market place, and a map of 1736 by Francis Plunket shows the market house as a small building with a domed roof in the market place. The building had collapsed in 1719 (Gacquin 2006), but it was rebuilt after 1762 by George and John Ensor as a rectangular and arcaded tholsel of six bays by three bays with the session rooms of the Grand Jury overhead. In 1836 it became the Roman Catholic church and was re-designed by J. O'Farrell who turned it into a one storey building, built up the arcades, expanded the porch with a tower and cupola overhead, and added a sacristy at N. This work was completed by 1844 and the building continued as a church until 1903 when the church of the Sacred Heart, designed by Walter Doolin, was opened. Throughout the 20th century the old Session House served as a hall, called the Harrison Hall after a popular physician. In the late 1970s it was sold to the Bank of Ireland who opened it as a branch in 1980. (Siggins 1998b). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO039-100 Fortification
  Description

  Some 17th century references to Roscommon Camp (Cal. S. P. Ire., 1601-3, 39) suggest that there were earthwork defences, perhaps occupying the high ground later occupied by the military barracks c. 1700 (Bradley and Dunne 1988a, 97). This is a detached U-shaped eight-bay three-storey building.
