• KK020-060011 Hospital
  Description

  Located c. 50m NE of the former ‘Magdalan Gate’ at the E end of Gowran town, which is indicated on a 1710/11 map of Gowran (White). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 410) the hospital was, ‘just outside the town wall. About 1840 the remains of the chapel (KK020-060012-) attached to this Magdalen were removed and trees planted on the site. The exact spot occupied by the chapel is the angle formed by the public roads to Bagnalstown and Goresbridge, at their point of divergence opposite the pike house’. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 242, 410) gives an extract from a grant of 1578 to, ‘Sir Edm. Dowyre or Downye; of the custody, mastership and over-sight of the spittle houses or magdaleines of Leghlin and Balligawran, [now Gowran], for the relief of the poor leprous people dwelling in those places’. According to Sparks (1950, 44), ‘In the year 1604 a great plague broke out, from which a great many of the Gowran people died’. During a thunderstorm in the 1960s/70s a number of trees were uprooted revealing skeletons underneath (pers. comm. Mary Moran, 6 July 1992). There is no visible trace of the hospital above ground.

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 410), the Magdalen or medieval hospital (KK020-060011-) was, ‘just outside the town wall. About 1840 the remains of the chapel attached to this Magdalen were removed and trees planted on the site. The exact spot occupied by the chapel is the angle formed by the public roads to Bagnalstown and Goresbridge, at their point of divergence opposite the pike house’.

• KK020-060013 Graveyard
  Description

  A triangular area (dims. c. 60m NE-SW; max. c. 43m NW-SE at NE end) located c. 50m NE of the former ‘Magdalan Gate’ at the E end of Gowran town and indicated as, ‘Church (Site of)’ on the 1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 410), the Magdalen or medieval hospital (KK020-060011-) was, ‘just outside the town wall. About 1840 the remains of the chapel [KK020-060012-] attached to this Magdalen were removed and trees planted on the site. The exact spot occupied by the chapel is the angle formed by the public roads to Bagnalstown and Goresbridge, at their point of divergence opposite the pike house’. During a thunderstorm in the 1960s/70s a number of trees were uprooted revealing skeletons underneath (pers. comm. Mary Moran, 6 July 1992). There are trees and scrub growing in the wider portion of the triangular area which is defined by a stone wall on both roadsides, while the narrower SW portion is under grass and is defined by chains hung between bollards. There are no headstones or grave-markers visible. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 25 March 2021
