Recorded monuments

• KD006-007001 Church
  Description

  In the N sector of a graveyard (KD006-007002-). A short length of ivy-clad wall (dims. L 2.5m N-S; H 4m; T 1m) built of irregularly coursed, mortared limestone blocks may be the remains of the E-gable of a church described as a 'chapel of ease' in the 1654 Civil Survey, although the OSL (Herity 2002, 18) record it as 'an old wall which belonged to a Nunnery (KD006-007003-) that was there formerly' , an assertion that may be supported by the existence of a possible holy well (KD006-011----) called 'Nun's Well' c. 240m to the SSW. (Fitzgerald 1903-5, 30-32) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD006-007002 Graveyard
  Description

  In open, gently undulating pasture, bordering Carton Demesne to the SW. A roughly triangular area (max. dims. L c. 55m N-S; Wth c. 45m E-W) is enclosed by a mortared stone wall and contains the remains of a ruined church (KD006-007001-) in the N sector, and is the site of a possible nunnery (KD006-007003-). A gate on the W side gives access, and just to it's S the graveyard wall contains a blocked stone arch (dims. Wth 2.5m; H 0.5m) of uncertain function. Legible burial markers date from the 19th to the mid-20thC and the graveyard is no longer in use. The OSL (Herity 2002, 18) recorded 'a tombstone presenting ornamental carving and figures of animals', which was subsequently recorded by Lord Walter Fitzgerald (1903-5, 30-32) as an 18th century burial slab. The exact location of this monument is unknown. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
