Rosserk Friary

[2] Rosserk Friary and Moyne Abbey are located close to each other,[2] north of Ballina on the west side of Killala Bay.

Both were allegedly burnt by Sir Richard Bingham, Elizabeth I of England's governor of Connacht, in 1590 in Reformationist zeal.

[citation needed] The stone doorway leading to the church still shows fine workmanship and carvings.

The church is built in the late Irish Gothic Style and consists of a single-aisle nave, with two chantry chapels in the south transept and a bell-tower suspended over the chancel arch.

In the south-east corner of the chancel is a double piscina with a Round Tower carved on one of its pillars, two angels and the instruments of the passion.
