Recorded monuments
- DU011-005001 Church
Description
On an elevation south of Rollestown Village above the Broadmeadow river are the remains of the medieval parish church of Killossery within a walled graveyard. This church was described as ruinous in the Civil survey (1654-6) (Simington 1945, 208). It is a plain rectangular building (L 13m, Wth.5.90m), aligned E-W with a doorway in the W end of the N side wall. This had a round arch in the 19th-century (Walsh 1888, 238). A plain, widely splayed window in the E gable lights the interior. A font from the church was moved to Swords RC Church (DU011-070----). East and west gables survive to window height. North wall survives 0.5m-1.5m, slight traces of south wall. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 02 January 2015
- DU011-005002 Graveyard
Description
On an elevation S of Rollestown Village above the Broadmeadow river are the remains of a walled graveyard (Diam. C 30m) which encloses the remains of a medieval church (DU011-005001-). The graveyard appears to be artificially raised c. 2m above immediate ground level indicating that the church may have been built on an earlier monument. According to Walsh (Walsh 1888, 238) the 'Danes' had made a rath at this place. The graveyard is bounded by a curved road to the east and houses and gardens to the west. Distinct drop down to the north where there may have been a bank-now tree lined beyond which is a very steep drop down to the river. Stone and gated entranceway to south-east beside which is a stile that has a graveslab cemented in place at an angle. Gravestones within the church predominantly 19th century. Tall pillar stone to the northwest of the church by yew tree. Concentration of older grave markers to east of church. The eastern graveyard wall is threatened by tree root growth. There has also been significant ugly cement re-pointing which will damage the stonework. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 02 January 2015
- DU011-057001 Water mill - unclassified
Description
The Civil survey (1654-6) mentions a mill at Killossery belonging to Philip Hore of Kilsallaghan. This is also marked on the Down Survey (1655-6) map. To the N of Killossery Church (DU011-005----) tucked into a hillslope is a mill complex comprising the mill building which stands to the W of the yard and a dwelling that runs at right angles to it with some later out-buildings off to the N. The mill building is oriented roughly N-S and changes from a two-storey building to one storey as it ascends the hillslope. It has stone foundations with mud walls and gables which are hipped (ext. dims. L16.4m, Wth 6.6m). There are remains of a millrace that runs along the N gable. The thatched roof is covered in galvanised iron. Most of the mill works are present in the N end of the building. There is a kiln in the S end.
