Heritage


Mothel Abbey was founded in the 6th century by a St. Breoghan.[4] It was refounded for the Augustinians by the Power family in the 13th century. It was closely associated with Molana Abbey and St. Catherine's Abbey in Waterford.

A Cross Pillar stone, also known as a termon-stone, stands by the roadside in Mothel. The squared sandstone pillar stands four feet high and is inscribed with ornamental crosses.[5]

Traditionally, local people walk through the stream at Mothel holy well seven times on the local Pattern day, known as Lá Chuain Airbhre.
