Rathfraan Abbey

The monks decided to build the abbey on Mullagh Na Croise. They buried the Holy Cross on Mullagh Na Croise. When they awoke next morning they found the Cross gone. They found it in Rathfraan where God wished it to be built.

We can only see the trace of some part of the (horse) Abbey now.
