In 1253 Felim O'Connor, King of Connacht founded a Dominican Friary which became Roscommon Abbey. The church had a long north aisle, but only part of the arcade remains. There was a nave and chancel with a central tower and cloister. Nothing remains of the tower or the cloister. In the 15th century a short north transept was added and traceried windows were inserted into the east and west walls replacing the original lancet windows. In the south wall there are several tomb niches with five lancet windows above them. The Friary was burned in 1270 and by 1445 had fallen in to disrepair.
