- CL045-033003 Church
Description
Situated c. 20m N of St Flannan’s cathedral (CL045-033006-) and c. 1.5m below the present ground level of the churchyard. A stone-roofed Romanesque oratory built c. AD 1100 under the patronage of king Muirchertach Ua Briain (1086-1119) (Gem 2006, 74). Several possible functions have been suggested such as a shrine for important relics (taking the fireproof nature of the stone roof into consideration), a possible place for royal burial or a subsidiary church to the main cathedral (ibid. 90-94). The oratory comprises a rectangular barrel-vaulted nave (int. dims. c. 8.8m x 5.3m) to the E of which was a contemporary chancel, which is now missing. The walls are of roughly rectangular blocks of mortared yellow and brown sandstone set on a simple plinth (H 0.2m) with larger stones used for the quoins. The N and S walls have a pronounced batter. The stone roof is neatly built and has been repaired (19th-century drawings show the roof disrupted by plant growth). A chamber with a pointed barrel vault above the nave carries the apex of the stone roof. The chancel also had a masonry vault and an outer masonry roof with a chamber in between. The chancel arch (Wth 2m; H 3m) is plain with a projecting chamfered abacus under the arch. The nave was lit by only two plain narrow lights with inclined jambs and stepped sills, one in each side wall towards the E end. The heads of the windows are formed of two slabs leaned together. The upper chamber is lit by a window in each gable wall of neat ashlar construction. The E gable window has inclined jambs with its head formed of two inclined slabs while the W window is round-headed. The W doorway (Wth 1m; H 2.5m) is highly decorative, well constructed and is integral to the original building. Externally the doorway is of three orders. The inner order is plain; the middle order is supported by short round columns standing on modern bases and has worn capitals which are decorated with animal and foliate carvings. The arch has a round roll moulding with a double hollow behind. The outer order has plain jambs. The arch is composed of two roll mouldings with a hollow moulding between. Externally there is a roll hood-moulding with very worn traces of dentil decoration. A cross-slab (CL045-033004-) lies in the interior. St Flannan’s Oratory is a National Monument in State care, no. 6. (Bradley et al. 1988; Gem 2006, 74-105) The following images have been uploaded: CL045-033003-_01.jpg View of oratory from the W with St Flannan's Cathedral in the background.

The upper fragment (H 0.67m; Wth 0.49m; T 0.1m) has the head of a double-lined incised wheeled cross with a squared centre and expanded rectangular terminals. The lower fragment (H 0.56m; Wth 0.45m; T 0.08-0.09m) has an incised double-lined tapering shaft and a tenon at the base.

- CL045-033009 Cross - High cross (present location)
Description
Erected in the nave of Killaloe cathedral (CL045-033002-). This high cross (H 4.2m; Wth across arms just over 1m) was, according to Swinfen (1992, 43), originally located in the same field as the West cross (CL016-015005-) at Kilfenora (see CL016-015014-) and was moved to Killaloe in 1821 by Dr. Mant, Bishop of Killaloe. The bottom of the tapering shaft is 0.46m wide and 0.14m deep. It has an imperforate head and lacks any mouldings at the corners. According to Harbison (1992, 120) the head of the E face ‘is dominated by the figure of the crucified Christ with outstretched arms, clad in a long and slightly splaying robe to above the ankles. Above and below Christ’s right arm there is a knot of pointed single-strand interlace. The interlace above his left arm is similar, but double-stranded. Under his left arm, four animal-heads emerge from a whirl. Above Christ’s head there is a simple, single-strand interlace.’ At the top of the shaft, which is otherwise undecorated, is a square panel of fretwork. Halfway up the shaft a tablet has been inserted and bears the following inscription: QVAM.SPECTAS.CRVCEM/IN.AGRO.FENABORENSI.VETVSTATE,COLLAPSAM/NE.PENITVS.INCVRIA.SITV.QVE.ABOLESCERET/HIC./APVUD SEDEM LAONENSEM/ERIGI.CVRAVIT/ANTIQVITATIS.ECCLESIASTICAE.STVDIOSUS/R.M.S.T.P./VTRIVSQUE.DIOECESEOS.EPISCOPUS/A.D. MDCCC.XXI The other face has interlace starting near the top of the shaft and covering the arms and top of the cross, but the segments of the ring seem to be undecorated.

- CL045-033010 Cross - High cross
Description
This cross-inscribed ogham stone was 'discovered in 1916, built into the wall surrounding the cathedral [at Killaloe (CL045-033006-)] enclosure: now set up on a supporting stone inside the building' (0.89 x 0.46 x 0.2m converted from Macalister 1945, 58-9, no. 54). 'A runic inscription is inscribed on the face reading [TH]URGRIM RISTI [KR]US THINA 'Thorgrim raised this cross' and is accompanied by a damaged scholastic Ogham inscribed on the side reading BENDACHT ... TOROQR ... which can be restored with reasonable certainty as BENDACHT FOR TOROQRIM 'a blessing on T[horgrim]' (McManus 1991, 130). McManus dates this inscription to the period after the seventh century on the grounds that the oghams are scholastic. According to Harbison (1992, fig. 402) this may be part of the shaft of a high cross. A 3D model of this stone can be viewed at: CL045-033010- Killaloe Ogham - Runic Stone - Download Free 3D model by Clare3d (@Clare3d) [18fc84a] (sketchfab.com) [accessed 13 December 2022]. It is evident that the higher portion has been broken off. The back of the stone bears an unusual carving possibly of a crucifixion scene with portion of a second panel remaining above. Thorgrím Furcap came to Killaloe in the winter of 1102/1103 when he accompanied Magnús Barelegs, King of Norway who arrived in Killaloe in 1102 (Griffin 2019, 238-9).

Description
This sheela-na-gig is set in the side-wall of St Flannan's Well (CL045-033013-). It is described by Freitag (2004, 134) as a figure ‘carved on a slab with the head cut off. The arms are splayed out with the hands joining over the pudenda. The legs are widely splayed, and the knees bent’.

- CL045-033015 Church (present location)
Description
Originally located on Friar's Island, Co. Tipperary, on the River Shannon (TN025-022001-) until its removal and re-erection in the grounds of Killaloe RC church in 1929. St. Molua's oratory (built around the 10th/11th century) was moved due to flooding of the River Shannon by the ESB for the Ardnacrusha power station. The church was called after St Molua of Clonfert-mulloe (Co. Laois) who is said to have had a church in the Killaloe district and who died in the early 7th century. Present remains consist of a nave (ext. dims. nave 5.57m N-S ; 8.2m E-W; wall T 0.8m) and chancel (4.2m N-S; 4m E-W; wall T 1.05m) church, the nave of which is the earlier building with the chancel being added later (Leask 1930, 130-35), as revealed when the church was being moved to its present location. The nave walls are constructed with uncoursed cyclopean sandstone masonry while the chancel walls are constructed with roughly squared stones of smaller size. The chancel has a single-light round-headed E window with stepped sillstone and unusual flat-headed doorway in the S wall. The round-headed chancel arch has curious jambstones which are not flush with the chancel arch and project inwards. The triangular-shaped stone chancel roof is bonded with lime mortar and is well preserved. The nave walls are poorly preserved and only survive several courses high with a poorly preserved trabeate doorway in the W wall. Excavations at Friar's Island prior to the removal of the church revealed that the church was constructed on a stone platform enclosed by a possible cashel with a revetment wall of unknown purpose. A second stone platform (22ft (6.71m) N-S; 50ft (15.25m) E-W) was located to the S of the church and eleven skeletons were uncovered under or close to the foundations of the N wall of the church (Macalister 1929, 16-24). The stone-roofed chancel of this church may have been constructed to house some relic of St. Molua, an earlier saint than St. Flannan who probably lived in the 8th century (Harbison 2005, 72). St. Molua's church is a National Monument in State Care, no. 279. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002).
