Recorded monuments

• KD010-009001 Church
  Description

  At the centre of a graveyard (KD010-009002-). According to Cullen (1999, 51), Clonshanbo is mentioned in a grant of 1174 to John de Hereford whose family subsequently granted all the churches in their barony of Ikeaty to the Knights Hospitallers who are recorded in a papal taxation survey of 1302 as 'Rectors of the church of Clonsenebo, the vicarage of which was worth '30 shillings'. Following the suppression of the Hospitallers in 1540, the church and ecclesiastical income came into the possession of the Crown and in 1543 Richard Birmingham, Vicar of Clonshanbo was reported to the Barons of the Exchequer at Dublin Castle for failing to comply with a King's statute requiring him to teach English there. The church is mentioned in the Civil Survey of 1654 but is described as a ruin in an Inquisition of 1657. All that survives is a heavily overgrown, ruined rectangular structure (ext. dims. L 17m E-W: Wth 5m) built of mortared stone (wall T 0.6m; H 0.4m). The interior is higher (H 1m) than the surrounding graveyard.

• KD010-009002 Graveyard
  Description

  On level pasture and containing a ruined medieval church (KD010-009001-). A sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 40m E-W; Wth c. 20m) is enclosed by a low, mortared stone wall and is entered through a narrow gateway at W. The earliest legible burial markers date to the 18th c.

• KD010-010 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  In generally level pasture which falls very gently to the S. A very large oval area (diams. c. 350m N-S; c. 250m E-W) is defined by a hedged field boundary bank SE-W-NE (skirted by a modern road S-NW), while from NE-E-SE a dry, shallow fosse (Wth 4.5m; D 0.2-0.3m) defines the site. A second, curving, inner fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.15m) is visible c. 30m N of the outer fosse SE-S-SW. A later, earthen field boundary runs E-W across the interior to S of centre and is abutted on its S side by a slightly raised, oval area (diams. 40m E-W; 25m N-S) defined by a very long (L 6-12m), low scarp (H 0.2-0.4m), which is named 'Killeen Moat' on the OS 6-inch map, which suggests an ecclesiastical association.
