• CL016-024001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On a prominent hill, named Island Hill on the OS maps, in undulating poor pastureland. This ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 110m), was identified by Leo Swan during the course of aerial reconnaissance and he described it as ‘the indistinct traces of a large circular fosse or ditch, with a low, inner bank now virtually obliterated’ (Swan 1991, 62-3). It surrounded a church (CL016-024002-) and graveyard (CL016-024003-). On inspection in May 1999 all that was visible on the ground was berm (L 35m; Wth 3.5m) curving around the hill from SW to W, c. 20m from the graveyard wall.

• CL016-024002 Church
  Description

  On top of a prominent hill, named Island Hill on the OS maps, in generally undulating poor pastureland with panoramic views. Indicated and named Kiltonaghty Church (in ruins)’ on the 1840 edition of the OS 6-inch map; by the time of the 1916 ed. it was annotated ‘Site of’. Described as ‘the site of an old Church and burying ground called Cill-Tonachta’ by O’ Donovan (Comber 1997, 90). Named ‘Kiltonaghta’ by Westropp (1900, 137) who noted it was ‘levelled since 1839’. This church is roughly centrally located within a graveyard (CL016-024003-), which is surrounded by an ecclesiastical enclosure (CL016-024001-). All that survives of it is a grass-covered section of the S wall (L 12-14m; Wth 1m; H 0.5m) and the return of the E wall (L 3m). A number of architectural fragments and dressed stone noted within the graveyard (Large 2010, 152-4) are probably be from it. According to local information, the foundations of the church were removed in the late 1930s. Compiled by: Olive Alcock and Lynda McCormack Date of upload: 22 April 2022

• CL016-024003 Graveyard
  Description

  Located within an ecclesiastical enclosure (CL018-024001-). Described as ‘the site of an old Church and burying ground called Cill-Tonachta’ by O’ Donovan (Comber 1997, 90). This roughly rectangular graveyard (31.5m E-W; 20.5m N-S) is defined by a drystone wall (H 1m). Access is gained through a gateway towards the S end of the W wall. The fragmentary remains of the foundations of the E and S walls of a church (CL018-024002-) are centrally located within it. A number of graves are marked by uninscribed upright stones but most are modern 19th and 20th-century graves. Some architectural fragments from the church, including a corbel stone, a window sill stone, a jambstone and dressed stone, are visible within it (Large 2010, 152-4).

• CL016-025 Enclosure
  Description

  On a gentle rise in undulating cleared and drained low-lying pasture to the W of a stream; there are large forestry plantations to the S and W. Hachured on the 1916 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A subrectangular enclosure (29m E-W; Wth 28m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 1m) which is best preserved along the NE corner and at W. At NE traces of the inner edge of an earth and stone bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.4m) survive. Large stone blocks along the W side suggest that it may have been revetted internally. A gap at E (Wth 6.5m) may mark the original entrance. A possible external fosse (Wth 5.5m; D 0.2m) is visible at W. A rectangular annexe (Wth 14m) extends off the site to the E. A levelled field boundary or ditch runs off it to the S, from the SW corner. Superficially the enclosure resembles a moated site.
