• KE080-016 Graveyard
  Description

  The well-preserved remains of church KE080-016001- are situated in a graveyard (KE080-016----) on the lower slopes of Coomduff mountain. Overlooking an extensive tract of bog to W, the site is associated with St Lonan, in whose honour a pattern was formerly held here on the 3rd of March (OSL). Alternatively known as Srugreana, the church is located close to the site of a castle (KE080-017----) and is situated about 230m NW of St Gobnet’s holy well (KE080-018----). It is included in the listing of parochial churches in the diocese in 1622. Its incumbent minister in 1633 was Thomas Harris, who was also minister of the parishes of Cahir and Glanbehy, when it was listed as under the patronage of Edwardus Spring (TCD MS 2158, 94, 37). It was in ruins by the mid-eighteenth century (Smith 1756, 70). A large number of incised grooves occur on an area of rock outcrop near the SW corner of the church. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1092.

• KE080-016001 Church
  Description

  The well-preserved remains of this church are situated in a graveyard (KE080-016----) on the lower slopes of Coomduff mountain. Overlooking an extensive tract of bog to W, the site is associated with St Lonan, in whose honour a pattern was formerly held here on the 3rd of March (OSL). Alternatively known as Srugreana, the church is located close to the site of a castle (KE080-017----) and is situated about 230m NW of St Gobnet’s holy well (KE080-018----). In 1494 the taxation records of the Diocese of Ardfert listed the parish church of 'Agalasidurryn' [Aglish KE058-024001-] which was at that time joined to the parish church of 'Chilloneayn' [Killinane] in the same diocese whose vicar was John O'Sullivan (O'Connell and Costello 1958, 41). It is included in the listing of parochial churches in the diocese in 1622. Its incumbent minister in 1633 was Thomas Harris, who was also minister of the parishes of Cahir and Glanbehy, when it was listed as under the patronage of Edwardus Spring (TCD MS 2158, 94, 37). It was in ruins by the mid-eighteenth century (Smith 1756, 70). The church measures 17.45m x 5.5m internally. The walls survive to full height and are built of coursed rubble. The interior of the building is obscured by tombs and grave-markers. The E gable stands 6.34m high and is lit by a single-light ogee-headed window with splayed ingoings and a lintelled rear arch. The ope is formed with dressed and chamfered sandstone blocks, which survive at its head and upper jambs. The upper pivot-hole for a shutter is preserved. To N of the window is a partly obscured rectangular aumbry. Abutting the wall beneath the E window is an altar formed of a rough, mortared slab base, 2.08m x .76m, capped by two over-sailing slabs. Close to the E end of the N wall is a flat-headed window with splayed ingoings and a lintelled rear arch. The ope is 1.55m high and was formed with dressed and chamfered sandstone blocks, most of which are missing. A pivot-hole for a shutter survives in the sill-stone. A similar window, partly obscured internally by a tomb, is located near the E end of the S wall. It is poorly preserved and measures at least 1.35m high. The pointed doorway in the S wall features jambs of roughly dressed sandstone blocks and an arch of pitched slabs which rests on triangular springers. Much of its E jamb no longer survives. The splayed ingoings of the doorway retain a drawbar socket and channel, and just above the level of the segmental rear arch is a pair of putlog-holes. A small stoup or font, with an ogee-headed ope, is set in the NE angle of the doorway. A series of beam-holes on the internal face of the W gable indicates that a wooden gallery or loft may have existed at this end of the church. Below the apices of the internal face of both gables are recesses for collar-beams, while setbacks for end-rafters survive on both gables. Along the side-walls a series of closely spaced, tilted, projecting slabs are located just below eaves level externally; these served to drain the roof. A large number of incised grooves occur on an area of rock outcrop near the SW corner of the church. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1092.

• KE080-017 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Short Castle/ Caisleán Gearr: There are no visible remains of this castle which was situated a short distance SE of Killinane church and graveyard (KE080-016001-). Usually referred to as Srugreana castle, it was probably built by the branch of the MacCarthys known as Sliocht Cormac Dunguile (Butler 1925, 54). It is recorded in the OSL as a 'small butt of a building called Caislean Gearr'. A raised platform, 18m E-W and 14m N-S, marks its location. The MacCarthys forfeited Srugreana during the Cromwellian period but recovered it on lease in 1697 (Butler 1925, 55). The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1113.
