• LA034-019001 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  It belonged to the Fitzpatrick family (Ireland Illustrated, 49). No other known historical references. Situated in a low lying area. No visible surface remains. This tower which is depicted on Francis Grose's illustration of the priory may have been a residential tower built onto the W end of the priory or it may have been a belfry because in the description of the remains of the priory he states that 'The engraving shows the passage into the vaults, which were extensive, and probably penetrated far under the building; and though the belfry is at present far short of its original altitude, yet may we, by what exists, form some judgement of its former height, which must have been considerable' (Ireland Illustrated). This building was later described by Carrigan as ' The castle, which was most likely the residence of the Canons, is stated by these who remember it, to have been as high and almost as large as that of Cullahill. It collapsed form the very foundations about the year 1850. The building attached to it on the east side was the Priory Church (LA034-019003-), or as the people call it, "the Friars Chapel". About 30 ft. of the east end of this chapel yet remains (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 238) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 17 December 2007

• LA034-019002 Castle - tower house
  Description

  Part of N wall and NE angle survive of this two-storey high tower house (dims. 7.3m N-S, 8m E-W) which is built of roughly coursed limestone rubble. It has a N-S barrel vault over ground floor, a large ope with a segmental arch on first floor and remains of a corbel to the N, of this, which carried an attic floor. Evidence of the bawn (LA034-019013) (dims. 22m N-S, 27m E-W) to N and S defined by a low bank (Wth. c. 4m) and outer fosse. Numerous earthworks in the field to N, S and W of the castle may be of medieval date. However castle is located on wet marshy land with stream immediately to SE and some of these earthworks may be associated with drainage of the field in which the castle is situated. Evidence of small circular earthwork defined by a scarp (H 0.5m) enclosing the castle at a distance of approx. 10m away from the walls of the castle. More extensive remains of earthworks in field to W of roadway in field between castle and priory (LA034-019003-). Large rectangular shaped earthwork or platform (approx. dims. 20m N-S x 25m E-W) defined by a scarp (0.3m) located 20m to the W of the castle. This earthwork may be related to eighteenth/nineteenth century drainage of this field. Described by Carrigan as ' The broken castle, about 40 perches south of the churchyard (LA034-019005-), probably marks the position of the Grange, or farm house, belonging to the Priory. The castle was perfect, or nearly so, till 1801, when it fell. One of its walls still stands to a height of 20 ft. One small field south of the castle stood the Priory mill, known as the Black Mill. Its modern sucessor was used as a fulling mill, by the present proprietors, till not many years ago (Carrigan 1905 vol. 2, 239) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P.

• LA034-019003 Religious house - Augustinian canons
  Description

  A monastery is said to have been foudned here in 550 (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 235). Records indicate that it was burnt in 1156 and that an Augustinian priory was established before 1168 by MacGillapatrick, Lord of Ossory (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 156). Only the NE angle opf a medieval building (dims. 10.4m E-W, 7.2m N-S, wall T 1m) with a base-batter and built of limestone blocks survives. Pieces of masonry and architectural fragments are visible just N of the Protestant church which lies to SSW. A burial vault to SE is possibly of seventeenth-century origin (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 239) but has been modernised. Originally a gateway to the priory was situated to NW and a well to SW (ibid.) The church tower depicted by Grose (ibid., 236) appears to have been misconstrued as a castle, and was thus recorded on the OS 6-inch maps. In 550 AD an abbey was founded here (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 177). Aghmacart was burned in 1156. (Carrigan 1905, vol. 1, 56). A priory was founded here by the Augustinians in 1170. Unlimited protection was granted to the Prior by Henry III in 1251. There is reference to it in the C15th and C16th (Carrigan 1905, vol 2, 235-7). Remains only of the NE angle of medieval building built of limestone blocks (dims. 10.4m E-W, 7.2m N-S, 1m T.) and with base batter. Modern building attached to it. Pieces of masonry are visible North of the priory and some architectural fragments. Described by Carrigan as 'In 1156, or 1157, Aghmacart was burned in the savage raid made on ossory by Muirchertach macNeill Ua Lochlainn. A Priory for Canons Regular of the Order of St. Augustine was established here, under the invocation of the Blessed Virgin and St. Tigearnach, or Tierna (April 5th) about the time of the Anglo-Norman invasion. The building attached to it on the east side was the Priory Church, or as the people call it, "the Friars Chapel". About 30 ft. of the east end of this chapel yet remains. It was 18.5 ft wide internally. The fragment of the north side-wall shows traces of three small broken windows. The east gable has a window, now built up, measuring on the inside, where it is round-headed, 4.5 ft. in width and about 10 ft. in height; on the outside it is framed with cut-stone, has a label moulding, is about 22 in. wide and 5 ft. high, and is divided by an upright mullion, now removed, into two narrow ogee-headed lights. Springing out of the southern extremity of the east end of the south side-wall, into some apartment, perhaps a side chapel, or transept, now thrown down. The south side-wall has been destroyed. What now remains of this "Friar's chapel", has been converted into a stable or carthouse, for the convenience of those who attend service in the adjacent Protestant church' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 238) In Francis Grose's description of the remains of the priory he states that 'The ruins of the priory are still considerable and tell what the erection once was, when it flourished in all its pomp of monastic adornment: the principal arched entrance is a fine speciman of its kind, particularly the stone sockets, in which the gate turned , are admirably well executed. The engraving shows the passage into the vaults, which were extensive, and probably penetrated far under the building; and though the belfry is at present far short of its original altitude, yet may we, by what exists, form some judgement of its former height, which must have been considerable. We read in the Monasticon that, "through the attention and care of Dr Pococke (1756-65), whilst he presided in the See of Ossory, part of these ruins were repaired for divine service", and when this view was taken, still remained the parish church. O'Dempsey built a priory here for Regular Canons, under the invocation of St Tigernach, and it was used as a cemetery by the Fitzpatricks, Barons of Upper Ossory. In the forty-third of Elizabeth (1601 AD) a grant was made to Florence Fitzpatrick of this priory and its appurtenances, as the rectory of Aghmacart etc..., ' (Ireland Illustrated). Incorprorated into the N section of the graveyard wall are the remains of the medieval Augustinian priory of Aghmacart. Of which only the E gable and N wall of the NE corner of the priory survives. This upstanding section appears to have been the N aisle of the priory with its N transept chapel with E window which still survives as a blocked up window. Evidence of three windows survives in the upstanding section of the N wall of the priory. The NE corner of this priory was converted into a mausoleum in the nineteenth century. Located off centre to the S in the E gable there is a square section engaged pier which would have supported an arch for the N aisle, evidence of diagonal tooling on the pier suggests that it is thirteenth century in date. Unfortunately a recent graveyard clean up scheme has removed all surface evidence for the rest of the piers to the S of the graveyard wall. It appears that this upstanding section is the N nave of an aisled priory of which one supporting pier survives in the inner face of the E wall of the N chapel. The vaulted structure to the S along with the church of Ireland church are all part of the domestic range of buildings to the S of the priory and its cloister.

• LA034-019004 Church
  Description

  Not marked on the 1840 or 1906 eds OS 6-inch maps. The church was destroyed in 1640 (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 177). No visible surface remains. According to the History of the Queens County 'It contained fifteen townlands, and it was an impropriate vicarage, worth £91 in the year 1640. The parsonage, church, and monastery, in this parish, were then totally demolished' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 177-8). According to Carrigan 'The ancient Parish Church of Aghmacart stood in ruins till the episcopate of the Protestant Bishop, Dr. Pocock (1756-65), who had the cahncel fitted up as a parish church. This chancel, which still serves as the Protestant church of the district, stands, most strangely, due north and south. It measures, internally, 34 ft. by 23 ft., the side walls being 15 ft. high, the south gable 3 ft. 8 in. thick and the east side wall 3 ft. thick. The east side-wall has two large Gothic windows, framed, within and without, with chiselled limestone; if, as is very likely, they were traceried originally, the tracery has disappeared. In the middle, between those windows, is a cut stone locker, chamfered on the edges, and measuring 16 in. every way. No windows now appear in the west side-wall; but at the north end, a slab, 26 in. by 29 in., exhibiting a carving of rich foliage, in relief, serves as a lintel over a small fire-place; its original purpose apparently was to ornament the top of a statue niche. There was a fine gothic cut-stone window, high up, in the south gable, to the rere of the ancient altar, but its tracery has been removed and some modern work substituted for it; on the outside it has a hood-moulding, ending at each side in foliage similar to that to be seen at Potterlath church. Underneath this window a modern door has been broken out, which is now the main entrance to the church. The north gable is six feeth six inches thick. Its one feature of interest and that the most interesting feature among the ruins of Aghmacart, is the choir-arch so masive and solid. It is perfectly round at top, of beautifull chiselled limeston, chamfered at the edges, and ornamented underneath with two semi-circular ribs, one single, the other double, both ending at the sides in plain carvings; its width is 11 ft., and height, to the apex of the arch 12 ft.' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 238-9). This above building described by Carrigan still survives as the Church of Ireland church is part of the medieval Augustinian priory (LA034-019003-) of Aghmacart and is the same building that Dr. Pococke restored in the 18th century. The building itself is orientated on a N-S axis and was originally part of the domestic range of buildings to the S of the cloister that was attached to the Augustinian priory. 5m S of the N gable along both side walls of the church there are the fragmentary remains of a wall which ran off this building on its E and W sides located off centre to N. This wall may have been part of the cloister wall of the priory off which ran this domestic range that was later converted into a Protestant church. In the centre of the S gable at first floor level there is a fine 15th or 16th century limestone pointed window with vine leaf decorated hood moulding terminals. The doorway into the 19th century porch appears to have been a late medieval limestone doorway, that was re-used in the 19th century. The majority of memorials are to the E of this building which would have been in the area to the S of the Augustinian Priory. There are numerous architectural fragments littered around the graveyard and incorporated into the graveyard wall. There are several late medieval limestone dumbell pier bases of the cloister scattered around the graveyard (LA034-019005-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran.

• LA034-019005 Graveyard
  Description

  All visible headstones post date 1700 AD. A square shaped graveyard (int. dims. 40m N-S; 52m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall with church of Ireland church (LA034-019004-) in S quadrant of graveyard and Auguistinian Priory (LA034-019003-) in N quadrant. It contains many 19th and 20th century headstones. No memorials pre-date 1700 AD. The majority of memorials are to the E of the Church of Ireland church which would have been in the area to the S of the Augustinian Priory. There are numerous architectural fragments littered around the graveyard and incorporated into the graveyard wall.

• LA034-019006 Gateway
  Description

  Not marked on the 1840 or 1906 eds OS 6-inch maps. Reference to a gateway site at entrance to priory, (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 237-239). No visible surface remains. Described in the History of the Queens County as 'A gate at the entrance, with a well turned arch of good workmanship, is a remarkable feature, with stone sockets for the gate to move in. Through the attention and care of the Right Rev. Dr. Pococke, whilst he resided as Protestant Bishop in the see of Ossory, a part of these ruins were repaired, and were used as a parish church' (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 178). According to Monasticon Hibernicum this gate stood at the NW side of the graveyard but had been taken down by the eighteenth century (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 239). The slightest remains of this gateway survive in the fragmentary wall return of the graveyard wall to the W of the church of Ireland church where the pathway leads into the graveyard, in this wall return there is the remains of a bar-slot that was probably associated with the medieval gateway of the Augustinian priory. From this gateway the enclosing wall ran Eastwards onto the current Church of Ireland church fragmentary remains of this enclosing wall can been seen in the E and W walls of the Protestant church.

• LA034-019007 Mausoleum
  Description

  Marked on the 1840 ed OS 6-inch map only. Reference to C17th vault here. (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 237). Vault is now modernised. Situated NE of the modern church, the vault has been modernised. Four pieces of cut limestone lie at the E side of the vault, one stone from a cloister arcade and two window jambs. Described by Carrigan as 'The burial vaults at Aghmacart are said to have been extensive and to have probably penetrated far under the building to the north of the Protestant church. Only one vault is now to be seen here; it belongs to the Fitzpatricks of Coolcashin, and has, over the doorway, the following inscription, of about 1770 'Pray for the souls of thye Fitzpatrick family interred in this Vault' The vault itself, however, appears to be much older than the inscription, and may have been built early in the 17th century to receive the remains of Florence, Lord Baron of Upper Ossory, or Geoffrey Fitzpatrick, Esq. of Tintore, both of whom were buried at Aghmacart' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 239). This barrel vaulted building is orienated on a N-S axis and is located to the S of the priory of which it was once part of. Probably served as a domestic residence of a monk which was accessed of the cloister that was located to the S of the Augustinian priory (LA034-019003-). In the late medieval period this vaulted structured was re-used as a burial place for the Fitzpatrick family. There is a single light window in the centre of the N wall of the tomb and in the centre of the E wall.

  Description

  Not marked on the 1840 or 1906 eds OS 6-inch maps. Reference to a causey well south west of churchyard. (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 239). No visible surface remains. Described by carrigan as 'There was, till lately, a well near the churchyard, to the south-west, called "Causey [ie.., Causeway] well".

• LA034-019012 School
  Description

  Described by Carrigan as 'About 100 yards north-east of the graveyard (LA034-019005-), at the opposite side of the road to Cullahill, there is a small fertile field called the "Infirmary Field"; this is said to have been the site of the Priory Infirmary. In very dry summers, the foundations of houses may be distinctly traced here, beneath the surface. Tradition states that here, too, were a church-perhaps the first church ever built in Aghmacart-and a churchyard' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 239). This field is currently owned by a Mr Joe White and is the site of the medieval medical school of Aghmacart which was run by the O'Connors until the early 1600's when it was abandoned. The O'Connor's were hereditary physicians to the Fitzpatrick family who were Lords of Upper Ossory. An early sixteenth century medical manuscript from this school is in the possession of the Royal Irish Academy, Dublin. At this medical college students from Ireland and Europe were educated, the National Library of Scotland has in its ownership a manuscript from one of the scottish students who attended the medical college at Aghmacart. The medical school would have been associated with the nearby Augustinian Priory of Aghmacart (LA034-019003-). Recent site inspection carried out by Dr Elizabeth Fitzpatrick of NUIG in 2010 identified the presence of a 'low relief bank/wall footing' in the field in the field known locally as the 'Infirmary Field' (LA034-019012) (Fenwick 2010, 1). In December 2010 Joe Fenwick of NUIG carried out an electrical resistance survey within this field in the hope of identifying sub-surface features (Fenwick 2010, 1). The geophysical survey identified the presence of wall footings of a building or buildings just below the top sod in the NW corner of the field known locally as the 'infirmary field' (Fenwick 2010). The survey was unable to identify the full extent and limit of these wall footings within the field. It is likely that these wall footings belong to the foundations of the buildings recorded by Carrigan in 1905.
