• GA085-056001 Church
  Description

  On E bank of the Killimor River, wedged between a modern graveyard to N and a modern RC church to S. The remains are those of a poorly preserved rectangular medieval church (E-W; L >16.2m, Wth 6.5m). Only E gable stands to full height; the N wall is largely rebuilt and the only trace of S wall is a small section at SW angle. The only surviving architectural feature is a broken twin-light window in E gable with a shallow pointed arch and a hood moulding. A burial vault occupies the probable site of W gable and another stands just outside the line of S wall. A tower house (GA085-057----) stands 80m SSE.

• GA085-057 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On a rise in grassland just E of the Killimor River. In existence in 1574 when it was in the possession of 'Dermott ODaly' (Nolan 1901b, 120). The original tower, a rectangular four-storey structure (L12m, Wth 9m), has been incorporated into W end of an 18/19th-C house. The latter consists of a rectangular three-bay two-storey building over a basement, with a centrally placed doorway in S wall approached by a flight of stone steps. Large chimney stacks crown both gables. The original pointed arch doorway of the tower house, situated in E wall, is framed by an outer arch between which and the doorway proper is an narrow slit resembling a murder-hole. This doorway gave access to a lobby with a guardroom, still intact, to S. The original stone stairs of which only two steps remain, were situated in NW corner. Their site is now occupied by a dilapidated modern wooden stairs. There is also a blocked segmented arch doorway in N wall. Apart from a blocked ogee-headed window in E wall and a number of slit windows in W and N walls, no other architectural features were noted. A church (GA085-056001-) lies 80m NNW.
