## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- KD010-009001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD010-009001-. 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.

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, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD010-010----. 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.

Cropmark of large roughly oval-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 96m NW-SE x 80m NE-SW) with rectangular-shaped annexe (approx. dims. 62m NE-SW x 37m NW-SE) at SE visible on Google earth aerial imagery.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
