- DU023-015006 Cross-inscribed stone
Description
Situated on a low rise, in a green area, NE of Kill Abbey road. Cross-inscribed stone described by Crawford (1913, 167) as 'A triangular fragment 10 in. [0.25m] wide, incised with a Greek cross 5 in. [0.13m] long having splayed ends'. Cross-inscribed stone described by (O'Reilly 1901, 144) as; 'a small triangular-shaped fragment that seems like the corner of a rectangular leac, and which bears an incised, equal-armed cross 5 inches [0.13m] wide, the extremities of which are splayed'. The precise location of this cross-inscribed stone within the graveyard (DU023-015002-) at Kill-of the Grange has not been identified (Ó hÉailidhe 1959, 165; Healy 1975, 1-19). The site is located within a complex which includes a pre-Norman church with a late medieval chancel (DU023-015001-), a graveyard (DU023-015002-), a holy well (DU023-015003-) a bullaun stone (DU023-015007-), a graveslab (DU023-015005-), a stone font (DU023-015009-), the base of a stone cross (DU023-015008-), and two crosses (DU023-015004-) from the former laneway into the graveyard which are now in the care of the OPW in Trim, county Meath. See attached photograph of cross-inscribed stone with triangular-shaped top, taken from O'Reilly 1901, 144.

- DU026-006 Enclosure
Description
This site was located a farmyard in a field of pasture on a hillslope N of Tully cross. Recent road development adjacent to the site. Furze and bracken densely cover an area which is marked on the 1st edition (1843) map as an enclosure. There is a semi-circular raised area to the E of this site (13m E-W, 15m N-S. H 1.10m). This may have been caused by the building of a concrete block wall which cuts into it. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 10 April 2018.
- DU026-023001 Church
Description
The church, known as Tully Church, is located beside a lane way at the foot of the Dublin Mountains. This was an early diocesan centre known as Tulach na nEpscop. There were eight bishops associated with the church by the eighth century. Its Patron Saint was St. Brigid (Anon 1900, 183, Turner 1983 61-62, O'Brien 1988, 512-513). The church remains comprise a chancel, with wall footings for the side walls of the nave which is narrower. The nave appears to be the earliest portion, the E wall has a 13th-century chancel arch cut into it. A narrow ope above the chancel arch has an entrance opening into the nave. The church is built of random granite blocks with dressed granite quoins. The chancel (int. dims. L 8.50m, Wth 5.50m) is entered through a round arch. It is lit by two deeply splayed round arched windows in the E gable and single round-arched windows in the side walls with bar holes visible in the jambs. The church stands within a series of external enclosures (Corlett 2014). Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 14 April 2018.
- DU026-023002 Graveyard
Description
This graveyard is located beside a lane way at the foot of the Dublin mountains. The church stands within a series of enclosures. The inner enclosure is a dry-stone wall (T 1.5m; diam. c. 50m) which stands to the E and N of the church. Aerial photographs (OS 89877) show cropmarks of at least two outer enclosures with a radius of c. 70m and c. 140m respectively. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy. Revised upload on: 14 April 2018.
- DU026-023003 Cross - High cross
Description
This road-side high cross stands c. 110m NW of Tully church (DU026-023003-). It is a plain granite ring-headed cross (H 2.34m by 0.9m across the ring) of c. 10th/11th-century date and is set into a cube-shaped base (H 2m); this was done sometime after 1860 (Corlett 2014, 100). There is a shingle design on the roof of the house-shaped capstone. On the upper surface of the base is a deeply incised Latin cross. (Anon. 1900, 185; O'Brien 1988, 512-513; Corlett 2014, 100-101) Compiled by: Gerladine Stout Updated by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 19 May 2015
- DU026-023004 Cross - High cross
Description
The high cross stands c.85m W of Tully Church (DU026-023001-) in a field. It is formed from carved granite (H 2.2m) and has expanded terminals. The E face contains the carving of a figure with a full length garment, both hands bent at the elbow and holding a crozier. The W face contains a very weathered carving of a face with a pointed chin. This face is framed by a roll-moulding that extends down the full length of the shaft. This cross may date to the 12th century. When recorded in 1901 the cross was upright in the field (photo in O'Reilly 1901, 251) but was subsequently set into one of two boulders that stood beside it; this boulder is carved with a small cross (Wakeman 1891, 700; Anon. 1900, 181-183, 185, 193; Corlett 2014, 100-103).

- DU026-023006 Graveslab
Description
One of eleven granite early grave slabs recorded at Tully graveyard (Swords 2009). This slab (L 1m; Wth 0.48m and 0.10m to 0.13m T) was found deeply buried in an upright position in 1982 c. 15m SW of the chancel of the church (DU026-023001-). It tapers slightly and has a large corner broken from one end and an unknown amount from the other. It bears a cup-mark enclosed by three concentric circles. An off-centre band extends from the outer circular to the opposite end. At each side of this band are diagonal and transverse lines forming a herring bone pattern. The slab was secured to the inside wall of the chancel and in 1989 was taken into the care of the Office of Public Works (see DU018-421----) (Ó hÉailidhe 1982; Corlett 2014, 102, Slab 3). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 May 2015
- DU026-023007 Cross
Description
O'Reilly (1901, 250) records that 'On a small hillock, immediately beside the cross [DU026-023004-], are two large granite boulders, in each of which a deep, straight-sided, rectangular mortice, that evidently was made to receive a cross-shaft, has been sunk. Assuming that one of these originally served as the plinth of the existing western cross, a search in the vicinity would, probably, unearth the fragments of a third free-standing cross.' At some point in the 20th century the western cross (DU026-23004-) was set in one of the boulders. To date no fragments of a third cross have come to light (Corlett 2014, 100-101). Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 May 2015
- DU026-023008 Cross-inscribed stone
Description
O'Reilly (1901, 142) records that ‘lying beneath the chancel arch at Tully is a small, over-shaped fragment of stone, 15 inches long [c. 18cm], and from 5 to 7 inches thick [c. 13cm – 0.18m], which bears a cup 1¾ inches wide [4.5cm], and one inch deep [2.5cm], and beside that, an equal-armed incised cross three inches wide [7.6cm]. . .’ It is depicted in a photograph on page 141 of O'Reilly's article (ibid.). The present location of this stone is unknown. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 20 May 2015
- DU026-023009 Ecclesiastical enclosure
Description
The church stands towards the E end of an oval enclosure (c. 45m E-W by 30m N-W) defined on the E by a well-defined scarp and along the S by an earth-and-stone bank; this is likely to represent an element of the original ecclesiastical enclosure. Further evidence of two possible outer enclosures is visible as crop-marks on an aerial photo (OS 89877) with a radius of c. 70m and c. 140m respectively (Corlett 2014, 102).

- DU026-153 Cairn - ring-cairn
Description
To the S of the wedge tomb at Laughanstown (26:24) a low oval embanked monument (Diam c. 30m) was identified during works on the South-Eastern Motorway. The bank was composed of field stones, sometimes grouped around glacial erratics. Artifacts recovered from among the stones included a saddle quern, a maul, a porphyry stone axe and hammerstones. Fragments of burnt one were found scattered across the ground surface. In the centre of the enclosure there were a number of pits, one contained a spindle whorl, the other a saddle quern (Seaver 2003, 129).
- DU026-154 Field system
Description
A linear field system covering sections of three fields was found during pre-development investigations in 2002. It was delimited by seven non-continuous ditches forming a long curving strip (L 267m, Wth 100m). There were large quantities of granite within the ditch and and to the N, suggesting a substantial earth and stone boundary. Artifacts from the ditches included local Medieval pottery, a glass fragment, a horseshoe fragment , a plough pebble and residual flint artifacts (Seaver 2004, 172).
