• CO072-092003 Graveyard
  Description

  On top of a E-W ridge, overlooking Lee valley to N. Approached by lane from road to W. Graveyard consists of two rectangular sections enclosed by earthen bank (H c. 1.5m); stone-faced externally, sloping down gently internally. Eastern section (c. 40m E-W; c. 35m N-S) contains fragmentary remains of parish church of Aglish (CO072-092004-), close to NW corner. Linear hollow (Wth 7m; D 0.95m) runs S from SW corner of church, immediately E of stone-faced earthen bank dividing E and W sections of graveyard. In occasional use; earliest headstone noted dated 1785, some chest tombs in vicinity of church ruin. Western section (c. 50m E-W; c. 60m N-S) named 'Friar's Field' on 1842, 1904 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps but no record of friary having existed here (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988); consists of level grassy area. Recent burials at E end; adjacent to these, on W side are two long low earthen mounds (N mound: c. 10m N-S; c. 2.5m E-W; H c. 0.3m. S mound: c. 9m N-S; c. 2.5m E-W; H c. 0.3m) of uncertain nature. Hartnett (1939, 111) noted 'traces of mounds' in this section, which are probably those described above. In 1700 reported that flax was growing in W section, which also contained foundation of house (Brady 1863, vol. 1, 2). Remains of early ecclesiastical enclosure (CO072-092001-) surround graveyard.

• CO072-092004 Church
  Description

  Close to NW corner of E section of graveyard (CO072-092003-), near centre of early ecclesiastical enclosure (CO072-092001-). Ivy-clad section of N wall (L 18.4m) and W gable (L 7.15m) are all that now stand of former parish church of Aglish; in ruins since at least 1615, S wall had fallen by 1700 (Brady 1863, vol. 1, 1-2). Junction of N and W walls survives only at foundation level. Hartnett (1939, 110) mentions 'pointed window which has been built up at an early period' and 'rectangular recess 24 inches by 21 inches' on the N wall, both features now completely masked by ivy, as are 'two narrow square-headed windows, with a slightly inward splay' (ibid.), which he describes on W gable. Exterior face of W wall has series of projecting stones set close to either corner, as if to key into additional structure. Chest tomb built against inside of W gable, similar tomb against S end of same wall. Headstone dated 1798 in interior.
