Moyne Abbey was founded before the year (1455) by the McWilliam Bourke family as a Franciscan friary and consecrated in 1462. It is located north of Ballina on the west side of Killala Bay on the old Ballina or "French" road. Like its neighbour, Rosserk Friary, it was burnt by Sir Richard Bingham, governor of Connacht, in 1590. It’s believed friars continued to reside there until about 1800.

Its west doorway is a seventeenth insertion. Its east window displays fine switchline tracery.
