Recorded monuments

• KE057-078001 Church
  Description

  In a graveyard (KE057-078003-). The overgrown ruins of a rectangular church (21.4m E-W; 8m N-S). The walls (H c. 4m; T 1m) are of rubble sandstone bonded with lime mortar. The internal walls are rendered with lime mortar. The church is entered through a pointed door ope (Wth 1.12m) at the W end of the S wall. The door ope has a segmental arched embrasure (Wth 1.55m) and a rough stone voussoir. There are a pair of arched window embrasures (Wth 0.9m) in the E wall with two narrow pointed lights (Wth 0.12m; H 1.55m) of sandstone with an external rebate and chamfer. The upper portion of the S wall at the E end has collapsed. The remains of the splayed ingoing of a window with an adjacent wall-press is evident in the S wall. A rectangular window (c. 1.5m x 1.5m) is visible high up in the W gable. There is a narrow breach (Wth 0.8m) in the N wall at the W end. The interior is level with numerous grave-plots and headstones dating from the 19th century to the present day. This was the parish church of Kilbonane, recorded in 1841 as 'the church of Saint Benignus' (OSL, 196-7). According to local tradition, the church was thatched and burnt by the Cromwellian troops (ITA). The Minutes of the CKFC records a belfry on top of the W gable and at the E end the 'south wall projects and widens showing what appears to be a souterrain leading under it'. The SE corner of the church has collapsed outwards, depositing a mound of rubble which obscures an area up to 4m outside the SE corner. There are no visible remains of the possible souterrain (KE057-078004-). An ogham stone (KE057-078002-) formerly in the vault at the E end of the church has been moved to Coolmagort, Beaufort.

• KE057-078002 Ogham stone
  Description

  This ogham stone formerly lay in the chancel of Kilbonane Church (KE057-078001-) and was moved to Coolmagort (see KE065-078009-) where it is on display with seven other ogham stones from the nearby souterrain (Macalister 1945, 235, no. 241). Dimensions: 1.91m x 0.41m x 0.18m (converted from Brash 1879, 234). It has three lines of ogham inscription; one on an edge, another along a line scratched down along the face of the stone with a smaller line half its length beside it. There is a third inscription on the other edge. The inscription is unclear at the repaired break across the middle. According to Macalister (1903, 175; 1945, 235-7), the main inscription on the face, including the smaller line, is independent of the inscription on the angles. Macalister (ibid.), read the inscription on the face as: NIR*** MN[I]DAGNIESSICONIDDALA AMIT BAIDAGNI. Macalister deciphers the inscription on the dexter angle as: B[AID]AGNI MAQI ADDILONA and on the sinister angle as: NAGUNI MUCO BASIDANI (ibid.). This stone has been studied as part of the ‘Ogham in 3D’ project undertaken by the School of Celtic Studies, Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies.

• KE057-078003 Graveyard
  Description

  In pasture, on level ground, overlooking the valley of the Laune River to the S. A subrectangular area (64m E-W; 52m N-S) defined by straight ivy-covered stone walls on the N and E sides and by a curved wall SE-NW. There is an entrance gate at WSW. The ruins of a church (KE057-078001-) stand in the S half of the graveyard. Some 19th- and early 20th-century gravestones are scattered around the graveyard. There is a concentration of chest tombs close to the W side of the church and some low, uninscribed markers to the E and S of the church. The earliest headstone noted dates to 1822.

• KE057-078004 Souterrain
  Description

  In a church (KE057-078001-). In the 1940s it was recorded that the E end of the 'south wall [of the church] projects and widens showing what appears to be a souterrain leading under it' (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club 1940, vol. 1, 698). The SE corner of the church has collapsed outwards, depositing a mound of rubble which obscures an area up to 4m. There are no visible remains of this possible souterrain. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
