“The first mention that we find of the existence of such a place as Longford village occurs in the year 1400. It was in that year that Domhnall O’ Farrell, Prince of Annaly-set aside a cartron of land (60 acres) north of the Camlin. On this he erected a monastery...Mainnistir Cartruin...because it was possessed of a cartron of land”
