- CV033-031001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV033-031001-. Located towards the top of the E and S-facing slope of a drumlin. The parish church of Killinkere is conserved within a subcircular graveyard (dims c. 52m E-W; c. 42m N-S) defined by a drystone wall which is replaced by a masonry wall where it borders a farm lane S-W. The graveyard has headstones dating from c. 1720 to c. 1960 including a fine collection of eighteenth century slate headstones. Kilinkerre was one of the parishes impropriate to the Benedictine abbey of Fore (WM004-035010-) (Kelly 2017, 76), and the church is first mentioned in 1406 (Davies 1948, 98). The remains consist of the foundations of a rectangular structure (ext. dims 18.55m E-W; 8m N-S; int. dims 12.55m E-W; 5.95m N-S) defined by the foundations of external walls (Wth c. 1m; int. H 0.2-0.8m). No doorways or other architectural features are present, apart from evidence of a mausoleum (int. dims 5.9m N-S; 3.15m E-W) separated from the nave by cross-wall at its W end. The conserved W gable survives entire with a small window beneath the apex, and the springing of the vault of the mausoleum is evident on the inner face of the wall. A face corbel is now built into the gable below the window embrasure. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 22 December 2008 Revised by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload; 18 March 2020

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
