• CO033-041003 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Near cliff-edge, overlooking Blackwater River to S. Probably a rectangular tower though only E wall (L 8.8m; T 1.9m) with returns of N wall (L 6m) and S wall (L 4m), now stand, to slightly over 1st-floor level; both surviving corners rounded (Cotter 1994, 101). No trace of main doorway survives, but was apparently at ground level near E end of S wall, where mural stairs rise E from ground to 1st-floor level; outer wall of stairs collapsed, steps obscured by grass-covered rubble. At foot of stairs foundations of E jamb and ingoing of doorway to ground-floor chamber survive. Little of latter chamber (4.08m N-S) is left: breach (Wth 1.9m) in E wall; single corbel overhead on N wall indicates position of original timber ceiling; row of joist sockets (0.1m x 0.1m) on E wall are late insertions. Spiral stairs rise in SE corner from top of mural stairs; at 1st-floor level NE jamb of doorway to main chamber survives. Latter roofed by pointed wicker-centred vault (long axis E-W). Only E ingoing of window in N wall survives; wide window embrasure in E wall covered by flat wicker-centred vault, present light inserted as head of earlier ogee-headed light still present. Castle of the Roches, Viscounts Fermoy (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 2, 30); in the possession of Richard Gethin in 1654, who carried out repairs on the castle (ibid., 32).

• CO033-082001 Graveyard
  Description

  On E side of road. Rectangular graveyard (c. 40m ENE-WSW; c. 30m NNW-ESE) with ruin of C of I parish church of Carrigleamleary (14705) forming part of N boundary. Much overgrown and no longer in use; headstones, in poor repair, date from mid-18th to late 19th century. Much of graveyard now used as dump. Earlier site of parish church c. 500m to S (14401); moved to present location c. 1715 (see 14705) and graveyard unlikely to be much older than this date.

• CO033-082002 Church
  Description

  Forming part of N boundary of graveyard (14554). Ruin of former C of I parish church of Carrigamleary. Roofless rectangular nave (12.4m ENE - WSW; c. 8m NNW - SSE), gable ended; lit by three pointed windows in SSE wall with hood moulding and block and start limestone surround. Pointed door ope, set in stepped recess, has block and start surround and a hood moulding; between ground and first floor, flanking door, are small lintelled window opes, now blocked. Pointed ENE window. Quoins on S corner removed. Fireplace in centre of internal NNW wall, flanked by windows with thin pointed lights and lattice glazing. A church in Carrig was consecrated in 1715 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 83), probably first church built on this site- the medieval parish church was in Carrig Demesne (14401) c. 500m to S. Lewis (1837, vol. 1, 277) described its replacement (present ruin) as 'a neat small church, in the later English style, but without a tower, now in the process of erection on the site of the old parish church, part of the walls of which will be incorporated in the new building'. This was in order in 1860 but dismantled in 1899 (Grove White 1905-25, vol. 2, 58; see photo of ruin opp. p 30).
