The Tomb of King Connor, Roscommon, Co. Roscommon

    Apparently this is the tomb of Feidlim Ua Conchobair (a.k.a. Fedhlim O'Connor) and is in the Dominican Priory in Roscommon which he founded in 1253.

    OSI 25" The NIAH doesn't have an article on the Abbey itself, only the 19th Century graveyard in the grounds. There is also an article from The Journal of the Kilkenny and South-East of Ireland Archaeological Society from 1866 called "Some Remarks on O'Connor's Tomb at Roscommon" which goes into the history of the different parts of the tomb.
  • Martin Hession said:
    He founded the Dominican Priory in 1253, died in 1275 and was Cathal of the Red Hands son. A biography at www.libraryireland.com/HistoryIreland/Death-Felim-OConnor...

    Swordscookie Not mean - moaning! :)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I've eyeballed the 6" and 25" maps of Rockingham, and there are no buildings labelled Kennels as far as I can tell.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Niall McAuley Presumably in or around there somewhere, Niall. Not too close to the house for barking noise...

    www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai003838017/ Great photo nice dogs, how about one of the men being Patrick Kearns who was a gamekeeper at Rockingham in 1901?

    The hall at the end was a RC church from the mid 19th C. until 1903. I don't see a cross on top of it so I think it's probably after that.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    derangedlemur Excellent, so post-1903 then! And thank you, I thought that might have been a courthouse or similar...
  • DannyM8 said:
    Ah the typical county council road worker picture 3 men in the hole digging and at least 6 0nlookers!! Mike Murphy would be proud.
  • derangedlemur said:
    And sure we may as well have the google streetview link: maps.google.ie/maps?q=roscommon+town&hl=en&ll=53....

    The house on the corner is of a style that if I saw it in Kiel or Hamburg, I'd date at between 1890 and 1910. Does anyone have a date for its erection?
