Recorded monuments

• KE047-043 Building
  Description

  Identified as the possible site of a church in the SMR (1990). This was based on the field name books of Capt. D. B. O'Connell who recorded in a letter, dated 28 February 1939, that 'At the N.E. corner of the same wood is the foundation of some kind of "house-like" building 46 feet [14m] long by 18 feet [5.5m] wide. That one can see of the foundations looks old but the place is heavily overgrown. Father Donal Reidy, Secretary to our Bishop thinks that there is a faint possibility that it might be the lost church of Ballydriscoll, mentioned in Papal Taxation but not yet identified. This is, I think, pure surmise.' (SMR file) No visible trace of this structure was found on inspection in 2000. In the absence of more precise locational evidence the ITM coordinates provided here can only be considered as indicative. Compiled by: Paul Walsh Date of upload: 22 July 2015

• KE047-052 Megalithic tomb - portal tomb
  Description

  Situated on N facing slope on S side of the broad valley of the River Maine. The monument is aligned N-S with the entrance facing downslope to N. Remains comprise two portal stones and a roofstone. The portals stand 0.90m apart and both lean markedly to the E. The W portal measures 1.20m long, is 0.40m wide at the top narrowing to c. 0.30m at the base, and, if erect, would be 1.60m high. The E portal is 1.80m in maximum length, 0.60m thick and, if erect, would be 1.70m high. The E portal rests against an upright stone (0.60m long, 0.22m thick, and 0.35m H) but it is unclear whether or not it originally formed part of the structure as it may have been part of a field fence that formerly abutted the monument here (see below). The roofstone measures 3.75m long, 2.60m wide and 0.80m thick. It is clearly displaced and rests on the E portal. Its S end rests on the ground above a stone (0.80m long, 0.15m thick, and in excess of 0.30m in depth) whose exposed edge is visible beneath it within the chamber. A split boulder slab (1.15m x 1.10m x 0.27m thick) lies in the chamber area and was moved to its present position from the rear of the chamber (pers comm. landowner). It is impossible to know if it ever formed part of the tomb structure proper. The exact dimensions of the chamber cannot be ascertained with certainty but it would have been c. 2m long measuring from the interior edges of the portal stones to where the roofstone rests on the ground. A drawing of the tomb by Commander O'Connel (March 1939, SMR file) shows the monument incorporated within a field fence which abutted the S end of the roofstone and the E face of the E portal stone. This fence was removed in early 1993 leaving a low mound of earth and stone around the monument's E side. Other than that, there is no evidence of a surrounding cairn or mound. The monument is undergoing excavation and conservation (license number 15E0103). KE047-052----_01.pdf: Plan of the monument surveyed July 1993.

• KE047-059 Megalithic tomb - portal tomb
  Description

  Situated on a level shoulder on a gentle slope within Killacloghane Wood, the remains consist of a group of prostrate slabs within an apparently hollowed-out area. A large roofstone-like slab (3.10m by 2.40m; 0.50m think) aligned N–S is partly overlapped by a smaller second slab at the N (1.85m E–W) which appears to have been broken off. Beneath the larger slab on its W side are two partly-overlapping slabs which may be interpreted as fallen portal stones. The S slab measures at least 1.10m wide, is over 0.45m thick and, if erect, would have been c. 2.15m. The N slab rests on and partly overlaps the W side of the previous slab: it measures 1.05m wide, 0.25m thick and, if erect, would have been over 1.70m. While the remains cannot be classified with any degree of certainty, comparison with the nearby portal tomb in the same townland c. 1km to the WSW (KE047-052----) would suggest that interpretation as a possible portal tomb would not be inconsistent with the evidence; this, however, is purely tentative and a full elucidation of the monument must await further investigation.

• KE047-060 Inscribed stone
  Description

  In 1939 Captain Donal B. O'Connell recorded the following details; 'In the same wood [Killaclohane Wood] is a large table-like rock known as a Mass Rock [KE047-061----] and Rounds have evidently been "paid" there quite recently. The rock is bespattered with initials but I think I can trace pattern of sorts underneath' (SMR File). No inscribed stone could be found in the location marked on the OS 6-inch map. However the reference from Captain O'Connell seems to describe the mass rock (KE047-061---) as the inscribed stone. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 24 May 2022

• KE047-061 Mass-rock
  Description

  Folklore collected from Castlemaine School about the the mass rock in Killaclohane known locally as Carrig an Aifrinn (Mass Rock) or Poll an Aifrinn (Mass Pit) recorded the following tradition; 'Carrig an Aifrinn or (Stony Church) is situated south of Castlemaine and east of Milltown. Many tales, some tragic are told concerning this ancient Mass rock. Records tell us that on the 7th June 1651 two priests, one Father Cornelius Mc Carthy and the other Fr. Thaddeus Moriarty were captured while holding there a general station. Both were taken under escort to Fair Hill, now known as Martyrs Hill and were executed there. Those were the only arrests, as the people and the other priests escaped safely. This place is also known as Poll an Aifrinn, because of the many holes which are shaped like birds' nests surrounding it. Those hollows were capable of holding hundreds of people secretly from view even from a person standing ten yards away. The Mass rock is a beautiful rock shape of a heart and stands on the brink of two holes. It affords a nice hiding place as it is surrounded by a large wood, which at that time was densely planted with larch and oak. In the vicinity is also seen mounds and curious stones which are believed to be grave marks of early days. A few Cromlechs are to be seen also there. Mass was celebrated there as late as 64 years ago by the late Rev. Batt OConor P. P. Milltown when a convert was received into the church. She was an Indian Princess who came on a holiday to Kilcolman, and like the saints of old she chose the Cloister for silence. She received her first Communion at this holy spot. Many call there to pray, and many names both past and present are carved into the rock. As Ecclesiastical records would mention in the winding up of their history many pass this historic spot unmindful of the scenes unacted there and those who laid down their lives for the true faith' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0433, Pages 036-7;https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4687710/4686094). A second story collected from Castlemaine School about Poll an Aifrinn (Mass Pit) recorded the following tradition; 'Poll an Aifrinn is a name given to a holy stone and place, where Mass was offered in the Penal days, it can be seen yet. It is situated about 500 yards from the entrance to Kiloclohane wood from the Castlemaine side. It happened that a few young men from the surrounding district (it was a great custom in those days) went killing birds by night equipped with splinters oil and matches. They went on to the wood, it was Xmas night, the night was very wild and this suited the purpose. When they landed at the wood they fixed up their lights and prepared for a good night's haul. They travelled on for about three hours, and could not meet any bird. At last their lights quenched. To add to their misfortune. They having plenty matches and oil, they could not light their torch, so they were left in darkness in the middle of the wood. They got indread (afraid) it was now about mid-night Xmas Eve. They thought of going home, when suddenly they heard a bell ringing at Poll an Aifrinn louder and plainer than you would hear a church bell on Sunday for Mass. They then thought of the night they had, and said it was not right to be out on Xmas night. They landed home safely and never again went out (torching) during Xmas. This is a true story and happened about 50 years ago' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0433, Pages 030-1; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4687710/4686088).
