• KE038-003001 Church
  Description

  National Monument No. 56. Annagh (Eanach/marsh) Church ruins stands in N quadrant of graveyard (KE038-003002-), located in the Diocese of Ardfert, Deanery of Offerla. The townland was also known as Eanach an Ambrósaigh meaning, 'the marsh of An Ambrósach (Anglo-Norman surname Ambroise)' (www.logainm.ie). In the Papal taxation of 1306 the church of 'Hanagh' in the Deanery of Offerla was valued at 40s. per annum with a tithe value of 4s. per annum (Cal. doc. Ire., Vol. 5, 295). In 1418 a papal letter written to Richard de Muor [More], priest, of the diocese of Ardfert, concerning his rehabilitation on account of the following papal order under Gregory XII that; 'provision to be made to him, then in minor orders only, of the rectories of Anach [Annagh] and Cluhirbryn in the above diocese, of the patronage of laymen, and dispensed him to hold them together for life. He obtained the said rectories under the said mandate, which stated, amongst other things, that he was of knightly birth, that the rectory of Anach was void by the death of Maurice Fyt, that formerly the vicarage of Cluhirbryn [Clogherbrien KE029-059----] was separated from the rectory thereof, and that the said rectories were reputed to be a single benefice, whereas in fact he was not noble except in so far as his father and his grandfather on his mother's side were the sons of knights' daughters, and the rectory of Anach was void by the death of Maurice Ykahil [O'Cahill],' (Cal. papal letters, vol. VII, 47). A second papal letter in the same year to Donal Osanlayn [O’Scanlan], canon of Ardfert, contained a mandate, ‘recapitulating the preceding. To collate and assign to the above Richard [de More], who is by both parents of noble birth, and has studied canon and civil law for five years, upon his resigning, the said rectory [of Cluhirbryn] and vicarage of Any [Knockainey, Co. Limerick LI032-141004-], value not exceeding 15 marks, which he is hereby dispensed to hold together for life. He is to resign the rectory of Anach’ (ibid.). According to the Desmond Survey the earl of Desmond was the patron of Annagh Church (O'Connell and Costello 1958, 23). In 1601, William Ambrose of Annagh was granted a Royal pardon from Queen Elizabeth (Nicholls 1994, 420). In 1615 the condition of the church of Annagh was described as 'Ruinous' and was valued at £5, the parish was served by Nathaniell Walkward who is listed as a preacher minister (Murphy 1915, 183). Medieval church ruins in N quadrant of graveyard with ringfort (KE038-003011-) 35m to S described in 1841 as follows; ‘It is fifty eight feet [17.7m], in length and twenty one feet six inches [6.55m] in breadth, and its side walls are three feet [0.9m] in thickness and ten feet [3m] in height and built of large lime stones irregularly laid and cemented with lime and sand mortar. The West gable is totally destroyed; there is a breach seven feet [2.1m] in extent on the North wall and the East gable is reduced to the height of the side walls. The East window is destroyed; it appears from two stones of it, remaining that, it was formed of chiselled brown sand stone. There was a window on the South wall at the distance of six feet [1.8m] from the East gable, but it is now destroyed, it was also formed of cut sand stone. The doorway is on the South wall at the distance of fifteen feet [4.6m] from the West gable; it is pointed on the outside and formed of chiselled sand stone and measures five feet seven inches [1.7m] in height and three feet seven inches [1.1m] in width. It forms three concentric little arches on this side, the middle one projecting four inches [0.1m] and the exterior one two inches [0.05m]. The internal part of this doorway forms a flat arch at the top which is formed of chiselled sandstone and measures six feet [1.8m] in height, but its width cannot be ascertained as its sides are destroyed. This church is about six centuries old; it stands in a grave yard in which many interments are made. There is no Saint nor Saint's Day remembered in connection with this church’ (OSL). Church and graveyard survey commissioned by Kerry Co. Co. which was carried out in 2008 recorded that, 'There were at least twenty six ex situ architectural fragments noted of which twenty four are currently lying loose on or partially inserted into the partially rebuilt west gable of the medieval church. All of the fragments are dressed structural masonry executed in local red sandstone. Several are quite large and would be difficult to remove, however, others are small and could easily be removed. Several comprise the splayed ingoings of a window embrasure as well as at least one complete sill stone. A broken stoup was also noted partially set within the reduced fabric at the extreme southwest angle of the church. Another unremarkable fragment was recorded within the church interior painted in white. A further, chamfered piece, possible section of a string course, is set as a grave marker immediately in front of or to the east of the Gace-Forther tomb' (Buckley and Dunne 2008, 9). The church ruins were described in 2008 as follows; 'Very little has changed since O’Donovan’s time other than there has been consolidation and tidy up works undertaken. The church is typically constructed with locally derived rubble sandstone and limestone. The sandstone has been utilised in all the surviving dressed or carved stone, indicative of an early date. The west gable today stands about a metre high and levelled off with masonry fragments from the building. Today the ruined church is in a relatively stable or good state of preservation with recent, early twentieth century repairs evident on some of the rubble limestone and sandstone walls. The church is devoid of any ivy overgrowth which has aided its survival. The interior of the church is formalised with gravel and a number of formal graves and grave-markers are also present. The southern elevation survives more or less to full height but its quoins on both corners are robbed out. A single finely moulded doorway is also located on the south wall and has a pointed arch set in three orders with chamfered edges. The inner door embrasure has a flattened segmental arch in good order with well matched narrow voussoirs. A draw-bar socket is also located at mid height. The sandstones are weathered but still display evidence of punch dressing here and there. A decorated sandstone carving of a mounted knight (KE038-003003-) is located to the immediate east of the entrance doorway on the interior. Immediately to the left of the door way on the exterior is a small cross slab (KE038-003012-). The elevation is lit by a single window ope at its eastern end. Evidence of modern repair work is apparent on the inner window sill. The east gable survives to the height of the side walls only. The east elevation is lit by a single window which is 1m in width on the exterior while the interior splayed and ragged embrasure measures c. 1.5m. Only two original dressed stones surviving at the bottom left side of its embrasure. A rectangular intra-mural recess or aumbry of red sandstone is located immediately below and to the right of the east window. The northern elevation survives to full height although it has a single breach. The western end of the wall survives in poor condition with only three original quoin-stones surviving while none survive on the eastern end. A possible blocked up window is evident towards the eastern end of this elevation. The western elevation appears to have been reconstructed in the twentieth century and stands at less than 1m in height at present. The entire upper limits of it comprise at least twenty four ex situ architectural fragments, some of which are of significant importance to understanding the finer architectural details of this medieval church which appear to be quite early' (ibid., 11-12).

• KE038-003002 Graveyard
  Description

  Church and graveyard survey commissioned by Kerry Co. Co. which was carried out in 2008 recorded the following details; 'Annagh graveyard comprises two sections; an older section containing the ruins of a medieval parish church [KE038-003001-] and a modern graveyard extension to the south. The western boundary wall for the modern extension is currently being re-vamped by Kerry County Council, with two entrances located at the northern and southern ends. The southern boundary wall of the old graveyard contains a pedestrian gate entrance at its southwestern corner as well as a metal swing turnstile immediately to the north in the western wall. The modern extension is bounded by a concrete block wall to the west and south, a wooden fence to the east and a very fine 19th century rubble sandstone and limestone wall with ‘cow and calf’ coping to the north, which also forms the southern boundary of the old graveyard and further extends around the entire limits of the old graveyard. The boundary walls measure an average 1.5m in height. Two separate entrances exist for the two areas of the graveyard. Access/egress to the modern area is gained through two pedestrian gates, with one at either end of the western boundary wall. The southernmost entrance consists of a modern cast iron gate set between two cement rendered concrete piers and concrete saddle capping. The northernmost entrance exists in a crude fashion at present as it is currently under construction from concrete blocks. Access/egress to the older area is gained through an original iron gate set between two cut stone sandstone piers with a flat, square capping. An iron swing turnstile is located immediately to the north of this gate, set in the western boundary. A formal perimeter gravel path extends from the entrance gate and turnstile of the old graveyard, while shorter gravel paths are located sporadically between the graves on the southern side of the graveyard. There were at least twenty six ex-situ architectural fragments noted of which twenty four are currently lying loose on or partially inserted into the partially rebuilt west gable of the medieval church. All of the fragments are dressed structural masonry executed in local red sandstone. Several are quite large and would be difficult to remove, however, others are small and could easily be removed. Several comprise the splayed ingoings of a window embrasure as well as at least one complete sill stone. A broken stoup was also noted partially set within the reduced fabric at the extreme southwest angle of the church.

• KE038-003003 Stone sculpture
  Description

  Church and graveyard survey commissioned by Kerry Co. Co. which was carried out in 2008 recorded that; 'A decorated sandstone has been incorporated into the fabric of the interior southern elevation, to the immediate east of the doorway' (Buckley and Dunne 2008, 10). In 1854 the carved stone was described as lying 'inside against the south wall of the church. It is a block of coarse red sand-stone, the same material of which the church is built, and which the adjacent mountain range furnishes; and measures, in length, eighteen inches [0.45m] at one side, and fifteen inches [0.38m] at the other; and the greatest thickness is about seven inches [0.17m]. The resemblance between this equestrian figure and that on the seal of Strongbow, may be worth mentioning here, although the latter is turned the opposite way' (Hitchcock 1854, 5-6). Carved figure of an Anglo-Norman knight probably dating from the first half of the 14th century was described by Harbison (1973, 11-12) as follows; 'Built into the interior face of the south wall of the ruined medieval parish church [KE038-003001-] at Annagh, a few miles west of Tralee, is a small carving of a knight on horseback. He is clad in a surcoat loose coat worn over armour which is to be imagined as hiding a suit of armour and a sword scabbard beneath it. He stretches his right arm out behind him and brandishes a short sword with straight cross. What can only be taken to be his left arm (though its connection with the left shoulder is nowhere to be seen) is thrust forward, giving the impression that the order to attack is being given. The knight is astride a saddle with high front and back, like that on a small equestrian statue found in a rath [Castle Bernard] at Kinnitty Co. Offaly, and now in the National Museum of Ireland. His sole surviving leg rests in a stirrup – a sure sign hat he is a Norman knight, as native Irish horsemen did not use stirrups. The horse’s reins are attached to the lower of two bands around the animal’s head, but they disappear on the horse’s body; they certainly do not seem to be held by either of the knight’s hands. The anatomical proportions of both horse and man show that we are dealing here with a very provincial and poor-quality work. The knight’s head is as big as his torso, and his leg is more spindly than his arm. The front part of the horse’s body is so awkwardly executed that it looks like a pantomime figure, but it should be said that the horse’s head, even of shown longer than his front legs, must once have been carefully modelled. Unfortunately, the whole carving has flaked away in parts, so that we cannot say, for instance, what head-protection, if any, the knight wore. The surcoat would suggest a date for this carving not later than the middle of the fourteenth century.' There was a local tradition that 'according to the late Tim Scanlon, Tralee, the horseman was found at Galvin's Bridge, Annagh, about 1820 and later built into the church' (Harbison 1973, 11).

• KE038-003004 Standing stone
  Description

  'The Ordnance Survey 1st and 2nd Edition 6" maps record "Gallauns" at this location. No trace of the stones now remains, though a large red sandstone monolith uncovered during dredging along the shore in 1996 is very probably one of the stones. This stone is 3.75m in overall length and measures 1.3m by 0.9m at base. Local information suggests that the stones were extant up until the 1930's and that there were three of them - two close together and a third some 20m to the north-east. This would suggest a stone pair or partially extant alignment and a single standing stone. The possibility that the single stone had been moved at some time prior to the 1930's, from an original position close to the other two, was suggested by the landowner. The minutes of the County Kerry Field Club for a meeting in November 1940 state that: Lying on the beach outside this gateway (that leading from Annagh Church) is a massive gallaun of red sandstone almost completely buried in the clay.'

On this map a 'Burial Ground' is annotated inside the levelled cashel indicating that the monument was reused as a children's burial ground (KE038-003006-). The 1841 ed. OSi map also shows the presence of 'Graves' to the immediate S of the cashel and a cluster of stones annotated 'Gallauns' (KE038-003007-) immediately S of cashel which may be the remains of a megalithic structure. Cashel depicted on 25-inch OSi map as a roughly circular-shaped area defined by a scarp with 'Graves' and 'Gallauns' (Site of) immediately to S.

• KE038-003006 Children's burial ground
  Description

  No surface remains visible of levelled possible children's burial ground with possible cashel annotated 'Tonakilla Fort' (KE038-003005-) on 1841 ed. OSi 6-inch map. On this map a 'Burial Ground' is annotated inside the levelled cashel indicating that the monument was reused as a children's burial ground (KE038-003006-). The 1841 ed. OSi map also shows the presence of 'Graves' to the immediate S of the cashel and a cluster of stones annotated 'Gallauns' (KE038-003007-) immediately S of cashel which may be the remains of a megalithic structure. Cashel depicted on 25-inch OSi map as a roughly circular-shaped area defined by a scarp with 'Graves' and 'Gallauns' (Site of) immediately to S. Annagh church (KE038-003001-) and graveyard (KE038-003002-) 370m to E. The County Kerry Field Club Account clearly suggests that the burial ground is outside and not part of Tonakilla Fort (KE038-003005-) and does not place the stones and slabs within either the fort or oblong enclosure. The Irish Tourism Association account may be incorrect in assuming that the stones are within a burial ground, as, while there was a burial ground in the area the Ordnance survey 1st edition map would suggest that it is located within the caher/stone fort. Yet it is interesting that O'Donovan made no mention of the burial ground in his description. The RMP listing for this area records the presence of a possible Children's Burial Ground based on the OS 1st Edition Map and the various descriptions of the site.

• KE038-003007 Standing stone
  Description

  'These stones were marked on the second edition of the OS map as Gallauns-site of. A search of the field in which they were marked revealed that they were, in fact, removed during clearance of the field and deposited beside the field boundary. These stones are of red sandstone, and are very noticeable as they occur in an area of limestone. They comprise of two complete rectilinear boulders and a third one which is now split and lies in two pieces immediately to the north. All the stones are rectangular in section. The largest is 2.63m in length, 0.90m in width and 0.38m thick. The middle one is 1.25m in length, 0.55m in width and 0.45m thick. The smallest stone lies in two pieces as stated above. The larger of the two fragments measures 0.60m in length, 0.90m in width and 0.30m thick. The smaller fragment measures 0.22m in length, 0.40m in width and 0.20m thick. This in effect gives a total length of 0.82m for the third stone. All the boulders tapered slightly towards the top. As the stones decreased/increased in height in a uniform way from largest to smallest. It is most likely that this is, in fact, the remains of a three-stone alignment.' O'Donovan (1841) recorded a stone fort (Tonakilla Fort KE038-003005-) east of the church at Annagh [KE038-003001-]. He also noted that at the south-east side of the caher there were eight stones, six of which are laid prostrate, and two are standing upright, and placed as if forming the "head and foot of a grave, at a distance of 10 feet asunder". This description was subsequently quoted by Borlase (1875,5).

• KE038-003012 Cross-inscribed stone
  Description

  Church and graveyard survey commissioned by Kerry Co. Co. which was carried out in 2008 recorded the following details; 'On the exterior southern elevation, to the west of the entrance doorway is an early medieval cross inscribed stone or slab. The sub-circular slab measures 0.3m maximum width which tapers to 0.19m at its western end, and 0.35m in length. The cross slab, which is damaged at the bottom left, comprises an unequal armed cross enclosed within the remains of a circle. It has bifucated terminals to both side arms. The upper longer arm has a T bar terminal. The bottom of the cross terminates with an attractive outwardly disposed scroll or pelta motif. This type of bottom pelta or scroll is typically found at several locations on the western end of the Dingle Peninsula including Kilshannig, Currauly, Kilmalkedar, Reask etc (Cuppage 1986). The stone was possibly modified before insertion into its current position. The modification impacted on its outer enclosing circle that still survives in part but was retained in principle by its shape. The early medieval carving is undertaken on a much weathered local red sandstone and may date as early as the sixth century AD (ibid, 311). The cross slab is the earliest recorded artefact at the site and may reflect an early ecclesiastic foundation there' (Buckley and Dunne 2008, 10).

  Description

  Annagh Church and graveyard survey commissioned by Kerry Co.

All of the fragments are dressed structural masonry executed in local red sandstone. Several are quite large and would be difficult to remove, however, others are small and could easily be removed. Several comprise the splayed ingoings of a window embrasure as well as at least one complete sill stone.

• KE038-083 Enclosure
  Description

  'The remains of this enclosure are situated on the shoreline in an area of small storm beaches prone to flooding at high tide. Only a 45.0m long portion of the north west quadrant now survives. This bank is very low, averaging 0.25m in height and 1.50m in width, and seems to be constructed of earth.'

• KE038-084 Enclosure
  Description

  'The land in which this site occurs is predominantly used for grazing, and because of its proximity to the sea, could also be described as coastal (the sea is approx. 400m to the north). This enclosure is located approx.50m to the north of Annagh church, and has been neatly bisected by a modern track/ roadway. The enclosure itself is contained within the confines of two large fields, which lie to the east and west of this track. The overall diameter of the enclosure is 135m N-S by 135m E-W. The above ground remains are represented by a low yet substantial bank, surviving to an average height of c.0.30m above internal ground surface. The bank survives best at east and south, where it has an external height of 0.40m and is up to 10m in width. The enclosure has been much eroded and is barely visible in places. This is without doubt attributable to agricultural activity. No external ditch was evident.'

• KE038-085 Enclosure
  Description

  'On the immediate eastern side of Annagh church is the semi-circular remains of a large circular enclosure, which has been truncated by the barrow complex on its eastern side. Most of the remains of this enclosure are situated in two fields, which have undergone varying degrees of reclaimation, and c.15.0m of the bank survives in the field, which also contains the barrows. The total diameter of this enclosure is 166m. The bank survives best at north where it is 16.0m in width, 0.50m high internally and 0.75m high externally. At south the bank is 12.0m in width, 0.40m high internally and 0.30m high externally. The bank has been substantially levelled at south, the northern side surviving to a greater height because the field in which it is located has not been as intensively reclaimed. At its closest approach the enclosure LVS038 003 is no further than 20.0m away, to the north west. No trace of a ditch could be located.'

• KE038-086 Enclosure
  Description

  'In a field which has been intensively reclaimed approximately 200m to the north-west of Annagh church are the semi-circular remains of another enclosure, now denuded, although substantial traces of the bank still survive. No trace of a ditch could be found. The enclosing element survives from west through north to east. Total diameter of this enclosure is 86.0m, the internal diameter being 54.0m. At west, the bank remains to a height of 0.20m externally, and to a height of 0.40m internally, and has a maximum width of 14.0m. At east the bank is more coherent, and survives to a width of 18.0m. Here at east the bank has an internal height of 0.50m and an external height of 0.70m. The interior is featureless.'

• KE038-137 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  'The land is quite marshy and wet and is used as rough grazing for cattle at the moment. Several low banks of earth and stone also occur in this complex, but, as yet, their relationship to the barrows is unknown. Located on the west bank of a small river which is prone to flooding, c.200m from the coast in an area of marshy grassland. This barrow is oval in shape and consists of a central platform 12m N-S by 14m E-W and 0.65m high surrounded by a fosse with an average width of 4.0m. This fosse is 0.40m below the level of the top of the platform and 0.45m below the top of the bank. The enclosing bank has a maximum external height of 1.00m at west, average height being 0.50m. The barrow slopes in an E-W direction and the bank is less substantial at the point nearest the river, probably because of being partially denuded as a result of flooding. Total dimensions of the site are 20m N-S by 30m E-W. The south-eastern portion of the site has, or appears to have been truncated by a small mound.'

  Description

  'The land is quite marshy and wet and is used as rough grazing for cattle at the moment. Several low banks of earth and stone also occur in this complex, but, as yet, their relationship to the barrows is unknown. Located on the west bank of a small river which is prone to flooding, c.200m from the coast in an area of marshy grassland...... this low mound is located on the immediate SE side of the barrow [KE038-137----]. This mound measures 9.50m N-S by 11.50m E-W at base and is 1.75m high. It is constructed of a mixture of earth and stones, and narrows slightly towards the top. A hollow occurs at the crest of the mound, 3.40m N-S by 4.0m E-W and is 0.50m below the top of the mound. This hollow may be the result of relatively modern interference. An opening occurs at east, 1.00m wide, but again probably represents the result of this interference. This mound is situated c.15m to the west of the river.'

  Description

  'The land is quite marshy and wet and is used as rough grazing for cattle at the moment. Several low banks of earth and stone also occur in this complex, but, as yet, their relationship to the barrows is unknown. Located on the west bank of a small river which is prone to flooding, c.200m from the coast in an area of marshy grassland...... located c.15.0m to the south of the above mound [KE038-138----] is a second similar but smaller example. It measures 4.00m N-S by 5.00m E-W at base, and is 1.25m in height. It is now eroded on its eastern side, probably due to flooding of the river eroding this side of the barrow. The top of the barrow is slightly eroded where a 2.00m N-S by 3.00m E-W, 0.20m deep depression occurs. This mound appears to be constructed of a mixture of stone and earth.'

  Description

  'The land is quite marshy and wet and is used as rough grazing for cattle at the moment. Several low banks of earth and stone also occur in this complex, but, as yet, their relationship to the barrows is unknown. Located on the west bank of a small river which is prone to flooding, c.200m from the coast in an area of marshy grassland...... situated in the same field as the previous two barrows [KE038-138----, KE038-139----], this site occurs c.60m to the west of the River Lee, this circular barrow has been partially disturbed by a field fence which ran in an E-W direction through the middle of the enclosure. Only the lowest course of the fence now survives, the boundary having been removed since being recorded on the OS 2nd Ed. Map. A sizable chunk of the barrow, approximately 2.50m by 2.50m has also been removed on its south east side in an attempt to quarry rock and stone from the area. Total dimensions of the site are 23.0m N-S by 23.0m E-W. The enclosing bank has an average width of 3.00m, and has a maximum external height of 0.80m at south, average height being 0.40m. An inner ditch, averaging 2.50m in width, encloses a circular central platform 10.0m in diameter and 0.35m high. This ditch is 0.40m below the crest of the bank and is 0.35m below the level of the central platform.'

  Description

  'The land is quite marshy and wet and is used as rough grazing for cattle at the moment. Several low banks of earth and stone also occur in this complex, but, as yet, their relationship to the barrows is unknown. Located on the west bank of a small river which is prone to flooding, c.200m from the coast in an area of marshy grassland......situated on the immediate north side of the above ring barrow [KE038-140----] is a small circular enclosure, measuring 16.0m N-S by 18.0m E-W in total diameter. The site consists of a low bank 1.00m in width and 0.30m in external height. A 2.50m wide break in the bank occurs at west-this may represent an entrance feature, or it may be a natural break in the bank. The interior of this enclosure has a slightly hollowed out appearance, resulting in the lowest level of the interior being c.0.75m below the level of the top of the enclosing element.'
