• DG065-014001 Church
  Description

  A Chapel of Ease (DG065-014001-) to Inishkeel. Pococke (1752, 67) described it as 'an old church called Kilkenny'. Built of rubble, the surviving fragmentary ruins of this church, 9.6m by 4.6m internally, are undateable. The E and W gables are represented by grass-covered footings and only the central sections of the N and S walls 2.2m high remain; at the W end of the latter is the splayed ingoing of a window. The church stands in the middle of a rectangular modern graveyard (DG065-014003-). To the N and W of this graveyard is the outline of a curving enclosure (DG065-014002-). Most of a semicircle can be seen. No sign of the enclosure could be found to the E and S but the modern graveyard and church would have stood roughly at the centre of such a circle had this been originally complete. The enclosure is formed by a grassed-over wall c. 0.25m high and up to 1.4m wide. Sections of the wall-footing are visible. In places, the wall was built along the edge of a slope to the sea. There is a 3.5m gap in the wall to the W where the S side is definitely inturned for 7.3m. The site is located on fair pasture land on the S side of the Gweebarra river inlet. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.' Compiled by: Brian Lacey with Eamon Cody, Claire Cotter, Judy Cuppage, Noel Dunne, Vincent Hurley, Celie O'Rahilly, Paul Walsh and Seán Ó Nualláin (Lifford: Donegal County Council, 1983).
