• CO019-091 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In pasture, on gentle NNW-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 20m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.85m); external fosse (D 0.65m). Bank incorporated into field fence system to NNE and SE; break to E (Wth 5m) and SSW (Wth 5m). Fosse waterlogged; recut as drain to NNE, cutting back outer face of bank. Interior used as passageway to S and as dumping ground to N. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

• CO019-092001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  On gentle N-facing slope. Trapezoidal enclosure (c. 190m N-S; c. 190m E-W) with rounded corners, visible as shadow site and as differential growth pattern in aerial photograph (J. Monk, January 1982), surrounding Killeenemer graveyard (14593) and church (14433); cut by road from NW to S. Enclosing element evident as low earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.9m) N->SE and to WNW, with earthen bank incorporated into field boundary system WNW->N. Remains of internal enclosure can be traced concentric to N and E sides of graveyard: E side (L 80m) visible as shadow mark on aerial photograph; N side survives as low rise atop scarp (H 0.5m). Midway along N side, banks turn inwards and extend S to meet N wall of graveyard, forming parallel sides of 'avenue' (Wth c. 7m); internal ground level of graveyard is c. 0.3m above that of avenue. Bullaun stone (13917) c. 450m S of church (14433); several rotary quern fragments, formerly collected around altar in church, now in Ballindangan Community Centre. Killeenemer equated by MacCotter and Nicholls (1996, 182) with Cill Aenamhna, described in the Crichad an Chaoilli as chief church of the tuath Eoghanacht Gleannamnach (Power ibid., 51); presumably also site of ecclesiastical court held at Killeenemer from at least 1275 (MacCotter and Nicholls ibid., 109).

• CO019-092002 Church
  Description

  In centre of graveyard (CO019-092003-), within early ecclesiastical enclosure (CO019-092001-). This ruin of a rectangular church (16.6m E-W; 7.1m N-S) was reconstructed by the OPW c. 1979, so that the walls now stand to an average height of 1.5m; before reconstruction, the N wall of the church was described by Power (1932b, 62-3) as a 'foot or two' in height, and the W wall was traceable at foundation level only. This was the parish church of Killeenemer; Leask (1955, 75; 51, 36) suggests a date of c. 1100 AD for the earlier parts of the church; O'Keeffe (1998) dates the W end to some time in the 11th century with the eastern part 'an extension dating to the 12th century'. The E wall has a central window with a widely splayed round-headed embrasure, and a single narrow round-headed light, its surround chamfered externally with a double rebate, the outer part of which has a concave profile; there is a fragment of hood moulding overhead. There is a rebuilt stone altar (H 0.7m; 1.8m x 0.8m) at the E end of the church. The W wall has rebuilt antae at each corner; in Power's time (1932, 62-3) they were traceable at foundation level only. The W wall also has a central doorway; this had a rounded arch with equal-armed cross in raised relief on the keystone (see reconstruction drawing in O'Keeffe ibid., 23). A series of voussoirs from the arch are re-set into the top of the wall. The S wall (H c. 1.5m) has a window with a round-headed light and a widely splayed embrasure; the light is chamfered externally, surmounted by a semicircular chamfered hood moulding with stepped terminals. The sill stone for a second window embrasure was re-set into the top of the wall. Midway along the S wall (9.3m from the W end), a breach shows a clear break in masonry between coursed (to W) and uncoursed sandstone (to E), indicating the church extended to the E. A similar division is visible on the N wall, which is otherwise featureless. Short returns of an E-W crossing wall, 0.3m W of the extension line, are not keyed into the side walls. Many of the stones in the church walls have small 'dolmen' incisions, like mason marks, which may be unique (see drawing in O'Keeffe ibid., 25). Cut-stone fragments collected within the church include window and embrasure heads and a possible column base. This is a National Monument in State Guardianship (no. 316).
