- KD019-036001 Enclosure
Description
Just off the brow of a hill, near the top of a short, steep, NNE-facing slope, in pasture. A fairly poorly preserved, rectangular area (int. dims. L 37m E-W; Wth 29m N-S) is defined by a low, stony, earthen bank (int. H 0.1-0.6m; Wth 0.6m at E-4m at S; ext. H 0.8m), and by the remains of a shallow, outer fosse along S and W (Wth 2m; D 0.4m). The interior may contain a partially robbed-out souterrain (KD019-036002-). Visible on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD019-036002 Souterrain
Description
In a rectangular enclosure (KD019-036001-). According to local information, in the 1930's, the souterrain could be entered through a hole in the stone-lintelled roof of an E-chamber, to the W of which a second chamber was also accessible, and beyond which lay a narrower passage, possible an original entrance, which was blocked. In 1972, the souterrain was inaccessible but a depression in the NW corner of the enclosure and a second depression running N-S through the interior and turning to run inside the enclosing bank along the S, and turning again to runs a short distance along the W might indicate its course (SMR file). The depression survives (D 0.4m; av. Wth 2m), and suggests the line of a partially robbed-out souterrain. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD019-037 Ringfort - rath
Description
In level, well drained pasture. Described in 1972 as a circular area (diam. 38m) enclosed by a well-defined earthen bank (H1.5m) with an entrance gap at E, and with slight traces of an outer fosse. The site is skirted by a modern field bank and drain SE-SW (SMR file). Visible on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD019-038 Cist
Description
A cremation-burial accompanied by two large vase food vessels (or possibly vase urns) was found in a cist which fell out of a pit face during sand extraction in 1930. Several years previously, another burial of 'unknown character' had apparently been found in the same area. (NMI). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD019-039 Church
Description
In a roadside graveyard (KD019-039001-). The poorly preserved remains consist of the ruined, grass-covered lower wall courses and collapsed, overgrown remains of a rectangular nave (int. L c. 14.3m E-W; Wth c. 3.6m) and chancel (dims. L c. 11.5m E-W; Wth 3.6m) structure, which was fortified by a (possibly later) small, densely ivy-clad, almost square, two-storied tower (ext. dims L 6m E-W; Wth 5.6m) attached at W. The tower has a small stair-turret projecting from the E end of its S wall, with no obviously visible access to it at ground level. The ground-floor of the tower has been modified and plastered to form a burial vault, accessed through a red brick doorway from the nave. There is a barrel vault with traces of wicker-work centring above ground-floor level, and opposing corbels in the N and S walls below mark the level of a loft. Evidence of double-splayed loops survive in the W and N walls. Fragments of two window jambs and a fragment of tracery from a twin-light window were found in the graveyard. (McCabe 1996, 108-9) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD019-039001 Graveyard
Description
On a narrow, level terrace in a long, gentle SW-facing slope, in pasture. A square area (dims. L c. 50m; Wth c. 50m) is enclosed by a stone wall and contains the ruins of a fortified medieval church (KD019-039----), an Early Christian cross-slab (KD019-039002-), a medieval baptismal font (KD019-039003-) and a 17th century Latin cross (KD019-039004-). The graveyard has been surveyed and some 50 inscriptions, 18th century - modern, are recorded (McCabe 1996, 106-17). Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD019-039002 Cross
Description
In a graveyard (KD019-039001-). A gently tapering granite slab (dims. L 1.74m; Wth 0.45-0.64m; T 0.22m) with partially bevelled edges carry's a ringed Greek cross in incised outline with a long, slightly splaying shaft.

- KD019-039003 Font
Description
In a graveyard (KD019-039001-). A gently tapering, octagonal granite basin (max. dims. top L 0.7m; Wth 0.6m; base L 0.46m; Wth 0.4m; H 0.46m; D 0.18m) has a central hole in the base, and on top, on one of the shorter edges, mortices which would have facilitated a hinged lid. (McCabe 1996, 106, 110) Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
- KD019-039004 Cross
Description
In a graveyard (KD019-039001-). An erect fragment of a limestone Latin cross (H 1.6m) has a square shaft (dims. L 0.28m; Wth 0.28m) and arms (Wth 0.63m). There is a small rectangular mortice in the upper end (dims. L 0.055m; Wth 0.045m; D 0.07m). One face carry's the date 1616, the crucifixion, INRI and IHS. The other face also carry's an IHS, two coats of arms and two sets of initials: I.D. and M.W., possibly referring to the Delahide and Walsh families.
