Ruins of a Dominican Friary founded in 1253 on the site of a 12th century Augustinian priory destroyed by the Normans. Felim McHugh O'Connor, King of Connacht, was buried here in 1265; the effigy in the north chancel (in very Anglo-Norman regal get-up) is either him or a successor, while the fellows on the tomb front are 15th-century mercenaries. The friary was suppressed at the Reformation and the stone of its tower and cloister removed.
Roscommon Abbey is a former Dominican Priory and National Monument located in Roscommon, Ireland.
