Creevelea Friary, Franciscan friary ruins in Dromahair, Ireland.
The remaining stone walls of Creevelea Friary contain multiple chambers, a church with nave, chancel, transept, and a cloister with domestic buildings.
Owen O'Rourke and Margaret O'Brian established the friary in 1508, which underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1536 and remained active until 1837.
The cloister features carved stone figures, including a representation of Saint Francis of Assisi delivering a sermon to birds.
Visitors can access the national monument by following the R286 road from Sligo to Dromahair and parking at the nearby hotel.
The friary served as a temporary stable for Richard Bingham's horses in 1590 during his pursuit of Brian O'Rourke, who sheltered Spanish Armada survivors.
