The Urban Survey of Westmeath (Bradley et. al. 1985, 121) recorded that ‘marked on the O.S. maps at the north-east end of the town (WM019-089----) this may be the site to which the Franciscans were reintroduced in the seventeenth century’. Depicted as 'Friary in Ruins' on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map where it is shown located beside a Tuck and Corn Mill standing on the bank of the River Brosna. In 1984 the foundation trenches of a council housing scheme at Friars Mill Road was inspected and no evidence of any archaeological material was visible (SMR File 21/05/1984). The site of the Friary was located on the S side of Friars Mill Road opposite Cusack Park.
