A National Monument. According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 405), 'Taghadoe, Tech-tua [is] the site of a monastery founded by St Tua, alias Ultan the Silent: Folachtach of Tech-tua, abbot of Clonmacnoise, died in 770 AFM'. On a slight rise in otherwise open, level pasture. Geophysical survey results appear to confirm the existence of portion of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (KD010-014001-), while upstanding remains comprise a round tower (KD010-014002-) and a graveyard (KD010-014003-) which may have early origins but is probably at least partly associated with an RC Chapel site (KD010-014004-) and a 19th century church (KD010-014005-). No visible surface traces of an earlier church survive. (Fitzgerald 1894-5, 76, 86-94; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 372; Harbison 1975, 126; Lennox-Barrow 1979, 124-6) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

In 1985, a curving field boundary, comprising a slight earthen bank and a shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.4m), was traceable for c. 200m running N from the W end of the graveyard (KD010-014003-) and was interpreted as the possible remains of an early ecclesiastical enclosure (SMR file). This feature is no longer visible at ground level. (CUCAP 1970, BDV 38). However, geophysical survey (M. Byrne Unpublished MA thesis, NUI Maynooth, 2005) revealed the subsurface remains of a possible second, inner enclosure c. 65m N of the round tower (KD010-014002-) in the field named 'Glebe' on the 1st. ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, which presents as a gently curving subsurface feature (L c. 60m E-W). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

National Monument No. 70. In the S sector of a roadside graveyard (KD010-014003-), and part of an early monastic foundation (KD010-014----). A roofless but otherwise well-preserved, five storied, tower (ext. diam. 4.96m; int diam. 2.54m; H 19.8m) is built of roughly coursed, poor quality, slatey limestone (wall T 1.02m through doorway) on a slightly projecting plinth (projects 0.1m). A round, three-stone arched doorway (H 1.57m; ext. Wth at base 0.66m: ext. Wth at springing 0.58m; H of sill above ground level 3.5m) with a plain decorative moulding faces SSE and is predominantly composed of granite, with some limestone in the E jamb; a mix of materials interpreted by Lennox-Barrow (1979, 124-6) as an uncompleted attempt to replace an original limestone doorway with one of granite. A weathered stone above the centre stone of the doorway's arch may have been decorated with a human head. Internally the floor levels are marked by set-backs in the wall face (Wth 0.05-0.01m) which would have carried wooden flooring. The tower is lit by three windows with inclined jambs and square tops; one on the second floor looking W, the second on the third floor, above the doorway, looking SSE and the third at probable fourth-floor level looking WNW. A ring of small, square putlock holes is visible just below the top of the tower. In the 19th century, a doorway was inserted at ground-floor level to allow coal to be stored for heating the nearby church (KD010-014005-), and has been blocked up since.

- KD010-014003: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD010-014003-. National Monument No. 578. On the site of a possible early monastery (KD010-014----) founded by St Tua (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 405). On a slight rise in otherwise open, level pasture. A roughly oval area (diams. c. 60m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW), higher (H 1.5m) than the surrounding ground and enclosed by a modern wall contains a round tower (KD010-014002-) an RC Chapel site (KD010-014004-) and a 19th century church (KD010-014005-). While visible grave markers are concentrated in the SE sector, geophysical survey suggests that the whole graveyard contains interments, as may the 19th century church (M. Byrne, Unpublished MA thesis, NUI Maynooth, 2005). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD010-014004: Chapel, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD010-014004-. National Monument No. 578. At the W edge of a graveyard (KD010-014003-) which is part of an early monastic site (KD010-014----). Named 'RC Chapel in ruins' on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map and indicated as a rectangular structure (est. dims. L c. 30m NNE-SSW; Wth c. 10m). The site is not recorded on the latest ed. (1911) of the OS 6-inch map and is not visible at ground level. It may have been an 18th/19th century church. Geophysical survey (M. Byrne Unpublished MA thesis, NUI Maynooth, 2005) revealed possible subsurface remains of this church. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD010-014005: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CKD010-014005-. Near the centre of a graveyard (KD010-014003-) which forms part of an early ecclesiastical site (KD010-014----). A ruined church which was built in 1821 and 'abandoned forty years later', according to Lennox-Barrow (1979 124-6). Geophysical survey (M. Byrne Unpublished MA thesis, NUI Maynooth, 2005) suggests the presence of burials within the church. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
