About Crossmolina
Crossmolina is situated on the River Deel. A large stone bridge
was originally built over this river, replaced in 1893 by an iron
bridge and this in turn by the present bridge in the 1980’s.

The town derived its name from the Irish – Cros Ui Maolfhiona –
as a result of a cross which was erected there in memory of
O Maolfhiona, a member of the local ruling family and a chieftain
of the Clann Fiachra.

In the past when Crossmolina was part of Iorrus – Domann
inhabited by the fir-bolgs, the earliest known settlers of Moyleog
(or Moylaw) were the Calry sept of the Fir-Domann. The Kings of
Hy-Fiachrach kept a fortress at Inniscoe and another on Annagh
Island in Lough Conn. One of the Fiachra sons Daithi reigned
as Ard-Ri from 405 A.D. to 483 A.D. His brother Amhalghaidh or
Awley became ruler of Hy-Fiachrach Moy and this territory
became known as Tir-Awley.
