  1. The Friary

    Share Share Post
    The Friary is a townland on Killymard ([Cill O mBárd]) side of Lough Eske. It was here the Friars settled when banished from Donegal and ministered to the spiritual wants of the neigh-bouring districts.
    There is now no sign of a church or building there but Tobar na mBrathar agus Roisín as well as Droichead na mbráthar and Casán na mbráthar all close by, seem to be associated with their activities here.
    Dolmen.
    In the townland of Friar in the field above Lough Eske school on the mountain side of Beannachar is a Dolmen.
    It consists of a massive cap stone supported by pillar stones.
