The original Creevelea Friary at Dromahair was closed down in 1650 and the friars moved to the townland of Tawnylea. As a result Tawnylea became known as New Creevelea. While there is no townland called creevelea the present St Brigid's Church, in the townland of Tawnylea, is known as Creevelea Church.
