Recorded monuments
- KD008-007 Enclosure
Description
Described in 1972 as a roughly rectangular area (dims. L 42m E-W; Wth 26m) defined by an inner earthen bank and an outer fosse, with a very uneven, tree-planted interior, but no longer visible at ground level in 1986 (SMR file). In level pasture immediately S of the Sweet River. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD008-020 Church
Description
According to the OSL (Herity 2005, 31-2), 'There is a field in the S.E. part of Collinstown townland called Church yard field from having a church formerly situated in it, of which there is not a vestige remaining. Killcooney church is shewn in the Engraved Maps from Sir W. Pettys Survey and some old people call the portion of Collinstown South of Killcooney River, Killcooney Townland'. The field is named 'Church Field' on the 1st. ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map and survives as a large sub-rectangular area (dims. L c. 500m ENE; Wth c. 180m), in gently undulating pasture, drained immediately to the N by the NE-flowing Kilcooney River. There is no visible surface of a church but a granite saddle quern (KD008-021----) was found in the field, suggesting possible early ecclesiastical activity there.
