		The importance of Banagher as a military position on the Shannon and on the highway from Leinster and Munster to Connaught was early appreciated by the English, whose forces seized it about the middle of the 16th century, apparently coming up the river to do so.
		Ultimately the MacCoghlans were overthrown and their lands were planted by order of James I issued in 1621, permission to Sir John Coghlan to retain the town of Banagher being refused on the grounds that it was the remains of an old English fort.
		The square tower on the lower side of the bridge at the Galway end was, no doubt, erected to protect the old bridge, as was the Salt Battery, with emplacements for four cannons facing west and north, a few hundred yards from town along the Crank Road.

		Banagher old Church stands high on what is left of an ice age drumlin, though much of the sand and gravel have been carried away by now.
		Some joker in the 1730s carved the words: "This church was built in ye year of God 474" into the inside of the entrance which, considering that the English language did not exist at the time, was a pretty stupid move.
		Originally the buildings were on top of the hill, but long centuries and many burials have raised the ground level considerably, so that now it is several feet higher than the church and mortuary house.

	The Old Church of Banagher, County of Londonderry
		The prefixed illustration represents a fine and characteristic specimen of one of the most ancient churches and monasteries to be found in the northern portions of our island--the church and monastery of Banagher, situated near the Faughan (Foch-muine) river in the ancient district, Kianaghta or Oiracht-y-Chatan, O'Cahan s country, in the county of Londonderry.
		In the massive, but regular masonry of its walls, we find an example of that style of building, usually called Etruscan; while its doorway, with architrave and inclined sides, is equally characteristic of the old Pelasgic form of architectural entrance.
		Most certainly we do, and this on the evidence of our ancient histories, as well as those furnished by the existing ruins, which, in their style of building, indicate an earlier age than any churches of the kind to be met with elsewhere.
