Moyne Abbey & Rosserk Friary, Ballina, County Mayo

Moyne Abbey, one of the many National Monuments in County Mayo and an excellent example of an ecclesiastical ruin dating back to 1462, along with Rosserk Friary, one of the best preserved of the Franciscan Friaries, were unfortunately both burnt down by Elizabeth I of England's governor of Connacht, Sir Richard Bingham, in 1590 at part of the reformation.
