Recorded monuments

• KD035-029001 Church
  Description

  On level ground overlooking a gentle E-facing slope in tillage. According to Fitzsymons (1906, 104-5), ‘… the ruins of Whitechurch (Kilbawn) … now form part of the mearin-ditch between the townlands of Turnerstown and Fox-hill (formerly called Knockshannagh). Very little now remains of the ruins, as only the walls, very much dilapidated, of a small oblong building are visible (int. 24.5 ft. [c. 7.47m] E-W; 14 ft [c. 4.27m] N-S; wall T 2ft 4 ins. [c. 0.71m]); at the west end the wall is five feet high [c. 1.52m]; they are nearly level with the ground on the north and east sides; the surrounding burial ground [KD035-029002-] is entirely obliterated.’ Fitzsymons shows a doorway (Wth 4.5 ft. [c. 1.37m]) near the W end of the S wall on his plan of the church (op. cit.). In 1985, the surviving walls, built of small undressed mortared limestone boulders, were only 0.9m high, the entrance was no longer identifiable and the field was ploughed up to the base of the church walls (SMR file). When re-inspected in 1996, the walls had been removed: an almost square patch of unploughed clay (18m E-W; 16m N-S) in a ploughed field marked the site of the church (SMR file).

• KD035-029002 Graveyard
  Description
