Historical references

“This place is called Mothail – Manchain, from St. Manchan who built a monastery here in the year 652 (see Colgan’s Acta Sanctorum, p. 332). Archdall (Monasticon) assigns this foundation to 608, and the Saint’s death to 652. Mohill parish is partly in Longford co. and barony, but chiefly in Mohill barony… The Protestant parish church occupies part of the site of the abbey” (Ann. Ult., fo-nóta, 160).
