Recorded monuments

• KD032-030001 Cross
  Description

  According to Fitzgerald (1912-4, 262-4), a cross (KD032-030001-) stood, ‘… on the summit of high ground in a square unenclosed plot, measuring about 50 yards [c. 46m] each way, which is never tilled like the rest of the field. This plot is probably the site of a long-forgotten burial-ground , skulls and bones have been turned up close by.’ According to local tradition, it was the burial place of victims of the battle of Kilrush (1642), but the ‘unenclosed plot’ could not be identified in 1959 (SMR file). Aerial photographic evidence indicates that the cross stands in the S quadrant of a small circular enclosure (approx. diam. 37m) which lies in N quadrant of a larger ecclesiastical enclosure (KD032-030003-) the cropmarks of which are clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs. The small circular enclosure may represent the enclosing element of a small burial ground (KD032-030001-). The linear cropmark of a possible roadway running E-W into the outer enclosure is visible at NW quadrant. A plain granite cross-shaft (H1.9m; L 0.3m; Wth 0.2m) with an unpierced circular head (diam. 0.5m) and non-projecting arms (Wth of arm 0.5m).

• KD032-030003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Aerial photograph (GB89.AF.32) shows cropmark of a complex enclosure incorporating a cross (KD032-030001-) and a possible burial ground (KD032-030002-). A rectilinear enclosure, with rounded corners, incorporates a circular enclosure in the NE segment with a dense positive cropmark suggesting the foundations of a building. An outer fosse runs parallel to the southern boundary of the rectilinear enclosure defining an outer annexe, and two short fosses extend NW from the enclosure. The cross is located close to the inner circular enclosure. Digital Globe photographic evidence indicates that the cross stands in the S quadrant of a small circular enclosure (approx. diam. 37m) which lies in N quadrant of a larger ecclesiastical enclosure (KD032-030003-) the cropmarks of which are clearly visible on Digital Globe aerial photographs. The small circular enclosure may represent the enclosing element of a small burial ground (KD032-030001-).
