Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 202-3) notes that the townland name, 'Maudlin', 'was used to denote a lazar house, or leper hospital. That a house, or hospital, of this class stood here, in ancient times may be taken for granted, though all tradition in connection with it has died out'. However, according to local tradition a leper hospital was located in the southern portion of the townland, the remaining foundations of which were demolished in the 1970s/early 1980s. It is not visible at ground level.
