Recorded monuments
- KK031-004001 Church
Description
On the N side of an irregular-shaped graveyard (KK031-004002-). The surrounding field to the N is known locally as the Mass Field. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 39), this church, known in Irish as, ‘Teampull a’ Daingin, is now a complete ruin. The west gable is destroyed; much of the north side-wall, and small portions of the other walls remain. There was no division into nave and chancel. No tradition, holy well, or memory of the patron. This church was a “Capella” belonging to the Priory of Kells down to the great Suppression’. A medieval church (Wth 6m) in very poor condition, the incomplete N wall (L 10.5m; H c. 3m; T 1.1m) survives and a small portion of the S wall (L c. 2m; H c. 1.5m; T 0.5m) survive, but neither the E or W gable are upstanding. The N wall has an internally splaying window embrasure (int. Wth 1.25m) 2.5m from the E end and traces of another window (int. Wth 2m) 3.2m to the W (6.95m from the E end of the N wall). The modern N boundary wall of the graveyard runs up against the upstanding W end of the N wall of the church. There is a low grass-covered bank (H 0.3m) possibly on the line of the E gable.

- KK031-004002 Graveyard
Description
An irregular-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 36m E-W; c. 35m N-S at the E end of the graveyard, tapering to c. 18m at the W end) with a ruinous medieval church (KK031-004001-) along the N boundary. The surrounding field to the N is known locally as the Mass Field. The OS Letters (1839) describe, ‘A small burying ground attached’ to the medieval church (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 93 (30)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 4, 39) mentions a couple of headstones in the graveyard, both of which date to the first half of the 19th century. The graveyard is enclosed by a stone wall, with gate piers at the S end of the E wall of the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly
