- Historical TraditionCromwell came to Mothel which is a small townsland near Carrick- on-Suir. There was an Abbey there, and monks living in it. Cromwell took the abbey, killed the monks, and took the heads of them. There is a stream in Mothel called Áth–na-gCeann which means “The Ford of the Heads” It is so called because Cromwell put the heads of the monks across the stream for steps.
