• KD018-011001 Church
  Description

  Possibly the 'small friary' mentioned by Tickell (1960, 375) as being in existence in 1731, and a church is shown here on Taylor's 1783 Map of County Kildare. According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 45 (137)), there existed '… the ruins of an old church, the burial ground (KD018-011002-) belonging to which is still in use'. In the S sector of a graveyard (KD018-011002-). This levelled monument survives as a low, grass-covered, rectangular area (dims. L 15.5m E-W; Wth 10.7m; H 0.7m) defined along the N side by low wall facing (H 0.7m) of randomly coursed limestone blocks and spall-stones. A roadside cross (KD018-010----) once stood c. 200m to the NW and a second roadside cross (KD018-012----) existed in the vicinity also. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD018-011002 Graveyard
  Description

  According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 45 (137)), 'In Carragh T.L. are the ruins of an old church (KD018-011001-), the burial ground belonging to which is still in use'. The burial ground is, however, not indicated on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. At the top of a gentle, E-facing pasture slope. A rectangular area (dims L 40m E-W, Wth c. 30m) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall on the S, W and N sides, and by a deep drain (D 2m; Wth 1.8m) along the E. There is an entrance gate on the W side. The ruins of a church (KD018-011001-) lie in the S sector and the burials are marked mainly by headstones, with a few flat graveslab, the earliest legible of which date to the 18th-century. A modern extension to the graveyard runs to the E and S. A roadside cross (KD018-010----) once stood c. 200m to the NW and a second roadside cross (KD018-012----) existed in the vicinity also.
