• KK024-068 Historic town
  Description

  In gently undulating terrain. A tributary of the River Nore flows c. 600m SE of the settlement. Kilkenny city (KK019-026----) lies c. 12km to the NE and Kells (KK027-029----) c. 12m to the SW. It is roughly centrally placed on the road between Gowran (KK020-060----), c. 5km to the NNE, and Thomastown (KK028-040----), c. 7km to the SSW. Another road at the E end of Dungarvan runs to Graiguenamanagh (KK029-018----) which is c. 10km to the SE. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 417) ascribes the derivation of the name as, ‘Dún Garbháin, which means the Fort of a man named Garbhán, or of a place anciently so named’. By the 14th century the manor of Dungarvan had been granted burgage status, as evidenced by a reference in the Calendar of Ormond Deeds where, ‘Hugh son of Randulf grants to William his son and his heirs in fee and heritage a front in the land of the burgagers of Dungarvan, the head of which lies in length near the King’s highway towards Thomastown on the south’ (Curtis 1932, vol. 1, 261 (deed 613); Empey 1990, 80, 647 - footnote 23). The Down Survey (1655-6) terrier accompanying the parish map of Dungarvan notes, ‘on Dungarvan a Small Castle in repaire’ and the proprietors in 1640 are listed as Peter Shortall, John Archdeacon and Redmond Archdeacon (NLI MS720). The Down Survey (1655-6) parish map indicates a church on glebe land within Dungarvan ((Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). Neither the castle (KK024-068008-) at the E end of the village, or the church c. 50m SW of it, are visible above ground. The full extent of the medieval borough of Dungarvan is unknown and the settlement now consists of a relatively small village. There is a motte (KK024-068001-) at the W end of the village.

• KK024-068001 Castle - motte
  Description

  In gently rolling terrain, at the W end of Dungarvan village, S of the public road, in pasture. A tributary of the River Nore flows c. 600m SE of the village. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 417) mentions, ‘The great circular dun or “moat,” from which the first part of the name [of the village] is taken, is situated in Dungarvan village’. A flat-topped steep-sided mound (diam. at summit 29.5m x 21.5m) overgrown with trees and scrub (Farrelly et al. 1993 field notes). The summit is defined by a slight bank (ibid.). The motte has been quarried into around the base in the W sector and a Marian grotto was built into the N side in 1954 (ibid.)The N side, which runs along the road, has been landscaped above a retaining stone wall. A possible curving bank c. 27m to the W may be the remains of an associated bailey or could be upcast around the edge of quarrying (ibid.). See attached photographs: KK024-068001-_01 Motte (Farrelly and O’Reilly, 7 July 1992) KK024-068001-_02 Motte (Farrelly and O’Reilly, 7 July 1992) Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 27 April 2021

• KK024-068004 Church
  Description

  On the S side of the NE-SW road through the village, roughly centrally placed within the medieval settlement, with the motte (KK024-068001-) c. 100m to the WSW and the castle (KK024-068008-) c. 50m to the NE. A church on glebe land is indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Gowran (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). On the Down Survey (1655-6) parish map of Dungarvan the building at the same location is drawn as a castle, which may be a cartographic error or could be illustrating the residential tower of the church (ibid.). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 417-18), ‘Previous to the Reformation the parish of Dungarvan was impropriate in the Priory of the Augustinian Canons of the Congregation of St. Victor, St. Catherine’s, Waterford City…The ancient parish church of Dungarvan was dedicated to St. David, Bishop of Menevia (March 1st)’. In 1615 the royal visitation recorded the church and chancel as in good repair (Manning 1998, 129). Carrigan (ibid. 418) relates that, ‘Its ruined walls were taken down, about 1811, to make room for a Protestant church, which has, itself, since become a ruin. It appears that the Protestant church was built partly on, and partly north of, the site of the old church, the south side-wall of the latter being 10 ft. [3m] south of the corresponding wall of the former’. A drawing of the church by Austin Cooper, dated 1799, shows the church, with the adjacent castle (KK024-068008-) in the foreground (Manning 1998, 130). The illustration is described by Manning (ibid. 129) as consisting of, ‘a nave with a bell cot on its west gable like at Kilfane and a two-storey castellated structure at its east end with the chancel in its ground floor and accommodation above. A door is shown in the north wall of the nave to the east of which are two buttresses with another at the north-west corner of the chancel. A high east window is shown in the chancel and a window in the north wall serving the first floor. The parapets on the chancel were stepped up towards the corners’. The medieval church is not visible above ground. Carrigan (ibid. 418), notes that, ‘Among the many monuments in the graveyard are about half-a-dozen coffin-shaped, uninscribed slabs, all with incised crosses, and some with carvings in relief of human heads’. Visible within the associated graveyard (KK024-068003-) there is an effigial tomb (KK024-068006-), a graveslab of head-slab type (KK024-068007-) and a tapering graveslab (KK024-068010-).

• KK024-068005 Graveyard
  Description

  On the S side of the NE-SW road through the village, roughly centrally placed within the medieval settlement, with the motte (KK024-068001-) c. 100m to the WSW and the castle (KK024-068008-) c. 50m to the NE. A graveyard associated with the medieval church (KK024-068002-) of Dungarvan which is no longer visible above ground. The present sub-rectangular graveyard enclosure (dims. c. 40m E-W; c. 43m NW-SE along W side, lengthening to c. 55m on the E side) is probably contemporary with the Church of Ireland church which was built on the site of the medieval church in 1811 (Carrigan 1905, vol. 3, 417-18). The original medieval graveyard is likely to have extended beyond this. According to Carrigan, ‘Among the many monuments in the graveyard are about half-a-dozen coffin-shaped, uninscribed slabs, all with incised crosses, and some with carvings in relief of human heads’ (ibid. 418). Visible within the associated graveyard (KK024-068003-) there is an effigial tomb (KK024-068006-), a graveslab of head-slab type (KK024-068007-) and a tapering graveslab (KK024-068010-).

• KK024-068006 Tomb - effigial
  Description

  Within the graveyard associated with the medieval church of Dungarvan (KK024-068002-). An effigial tomb, described by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 418) as, ‘that of Donald mcPierce Archedekin, otherwise McOdo, or Cody, of Cloghala. It is an altar-tomb, battered and broken, and deeply sunk in the ground. It stood within the ancient church, along by the south side-wall, and it occupies its original position still. The covering slab is broken across, and there are, besides, three pieces of it missing, viz., one near the top, and another at each corner of the base. Its upper portion is ornamented with a small eight-pointed cross, in relief; the lower half has a representation of the Crucifixion, on the left [sinister] side of which is the recumbent effigy of a man armed cap-a-pie, on the right [dexter side], that of a lady wearing the horned head-dress, and much broken. The front panel has the usual emblems of the Passion; also the name of the sculptor, thus: Par me Water keren, mason, 158.. [By me Walter Kerin, mason, 158-] The last figure of the date was 1, but it is now broken off. The east end panel has a shield with a saltire, ermine, impaling a chief indented. The west end panel is missing. An inscription, portions of which are lost, runs around the edge, and is continued on the inner surface of the covering slab; it is in Old English characters and is as follows: Hic jacent nobilis’ vir Atq’….Donaldus Archdekin Al’s Cody filius Petri …. …..e Dungarvan et dns de …. ….s q. obit [date uncut] Et Catherina Blanc….lle, Uxor Ei⁹ q. obit [date uncut]. Translation.- Here lie the most noble man and ……., Donald mcPierce Archdekin, otherwise Cody……. of Dungarvan, and lord of …….s, who died [ ]: and Catherine Blanchville, his wife, who died [ ]. An illustration depicting the front panel of the tomb published by Phelan (1996, 172), shows from dexter to sinister, a scourging pillar with rope twisted around it, two scourges, a spear, a ladder, three dice, a pierced heart surrounded by a crown of thorns, a hammer, a pincer with nails, a sponge on a pole, a seamless garment, a jar of ointment and a pot. It is signed by the mason along the top sinister panel. There is also an illustration of the impaled heraldic shield at the foot of the tomb (ibid.).

  Description

  Within the graveyard associated with the medieval church of Dungarvan (KK024-068002-). Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 418) noted within the graveyard, ‘about half-a-dozen coffin-shaped, uninscribed slabs, all with incised crosses, and some with carvings in relief of human heads’. One of these head-slabs is visible upright in the graveyard, partially embedded in the ground. It is described by Hunt (1974, vol. 1, 166) as, ‘carved in high relief with the head of a woman above a floreate cross. The hair hangs down over the shoulders…The stone is much worn and abraded. The date is thirteenth century’. It is a tapering slab with a chamber along the top.

• KK024-068008 Castle - tower house
  Description

  At the E end of Dungarvan which was a medieval borough (KK024-068----), S of the main NE-SW road through the village and immediately S of the road to Graiguenamanagh. The medieval church (KK024-068002-) is located c. 50m to the SW. The castle is depicted on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony map of Gowran and on the parish map of dungarvan (Hibernia Regnum, courtesy of Trinity College Dublin). The terrier accompanying the parish map notes, ‘on Dungarvan a Small Castle in repaire’ and the proprietors in 1640 are listed as Peter Shortall, John Archdeacon and Redmond Archdeacon (NLI MS720). A drawing of the church by Austin Cooper, dated 1799, shows the castle, with the adjacent church (KK024-068004-), on a slightly different alignment, in the background (Manning 1998, 130). The castle appears to be a tower house. It is described by Manning (ibid. 129) as, ‘From the alignment of the church it appears that the entrance front of the tower house, which is in shadow, faced north-east while the other visible side faced north-west. The entrance doorway is shown with a masonry blocking partly removed. This face has a number of loops with a narrow window on the left towards the top. The loops at each side of the north corner might indicate a spiral stairs here. The north-west wall again has a number of loops and a strange projecting feature at about third floor level. This may be a garderobe with a direct outlet. The north-west wall projects well above the others and had a high parapet. This may either be the remnants of a long caphouse on this side as at Ballysheanmore, Gowran, Co. Kilkenny [KK020-061001-] or quite simply the remainder of the top had been demolished’. It is indicated on the 1st (c. 1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as 'Site of Dungarvan Castle', which suggests that it had been levelled by this date. The castle is not visible above ground level.
