Place & story
Recent buildings and earlier remains
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account, headed Monmohennock or Dunmanogue, records a recently erected Catholic chapel within the Castledermot religious district. A school had also recently been built under the National Board and taught about sixty children. He contrasted these working institutions with the very small remains of the old abbey. His account gives no exact construction year for the chapel or school and does not establish that either stood on the abbey site. [2]
