We are delighted that the Black Friary is included in the current edition of the Meath Archaeological & Historical Society journal Ríocht na Midhe:
Congratulations to authors Finola O’Carroll, Dr. Denis Shine, Mark McConnon and Laura Corrway; the article details research carried out on the find in 2014 of a button from the C18th Longford Militia, identified during archaeological excavations at the C13th Blackfriary Dominican Friary site. In this instance, the archaeological and historical evidence gives us a glimpse in to post-medieval activity at the site, and puts the site in context during the significant social and political events of that time.
