• LA008-014001 Church
  Description

  The early Christian monastery of Coolbanagher is associated with Saint Lughach son of Lughaidh whose feastday occurred on the 6th of October (Ó Riain 2011, 407-8). This saint is also associated with Banagher Church, Co. Fermanagh, Rattoo, Co. Kerry and Toomour, Co. Sligo (Ibid., 407). The twelfth century preface to the Martyrology of Tallaght allegedly records that in the ninth century Saint Aonghas of Tallaght went to Coolbanagher where he began the writing of the Martyrology which he completed in the monastery of Tallaght, Co. Dublin (Ibid., 79). The Early Christian church at Coolbanagher was also associated with Saint Sinche the ‘daughter of Annudh, of Cuil Bennchuir’ whose feastday was held on the 22nd of August (Fitzgerald 1904, 300). In 1546 Patrick Obecan (O’Beaghan), was appointed chaplain to the Vicarage of ‘Culbanhir [Coolbanagher], alias, Ardea in the diocese of Kildare which was in the gift of the king (Ibid., 300). In 1552 the Crown granted 'English liberty to Patrick Beakan, clerk, and his issue; with confirmation in his vicarage of Cowlebangher [Coolbanagher]' (Nicholls 1994, 184). In 1572 Sir Maurice fitz Thomas FitzGerald, Knt., of Lackagh, in the County Kildare, obtained a twenty-one years’ lease of the Rectory of ‘Coulbenker,’ [Coolbanagher] with the advowson of the Vicarage of Erree, for which he paid in kind: viz., four beeves (Fitzgerald 1904, 299). In 1591 the tithes of corn of ‘Coulbanchar’ [Coolbanagher], with the advowson of the Vicarage of Errye, were leased to Captain Piers Hovenden, of Tankardstown, in the Queen’s County, for a rent of either £4 16s., Irish, or eight fat cows, according to the option of the Queen (Ibid., 299). Early in the seventeenth century a John Mimer is mentioned in a Funeral Entry as being ‘Minister of Culebannigher [Coolbanagher] in the Queene’s Countie’ (Ibid., 310). Coolbanagher church and graveyard was described in 1903 as the ‘ancient burial-ground of Coolbanagher. A considerable portion of the church-ruins, which consisted of nave and chancel, still exist; but they are featureless, and heavily clad with ivy. The chancel arch is pointed, and of rough stone-work. The chancel was an addition, as it is not bonded to the nave wall. The surrounding burial-ground contains but few headstones, and no slabs of any age or interest are visible. Though an occasional interment still takes place here, the churchyard is in a disgraceful state of neglect, being over-run with rabbits and choked with shrubs and bushes. The surrounding fence, too, is ditch in bad repair’ (Fitzgerald 1904, 310-11). Present remains consist of a small Romanesque nave and chancel church (max. ext. dims. 19.10m E-W, 6.50m N-S, wall T 0.75m) built of roughly coursed limestone blocks. Romanesque doorway of one order in W gable with incised sandstone arch. Chancel narrower than nave by 1.10m and is butt jointed. Dividing wall with possible basal remains of Romanesque arch. Font (LA008-014003-) may originally have been located here. Coobanagher tower house (LA008-015) lies c. 100m to NE. (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 221) Church fabric has been heavily modified by restoration scheme which has repointed the walls of the church in recent times. An early Christian cross-slab (LA008-014004-) with an incised 'Greek cross' with T-shaped terminals now on display attached to inner face of N wall of chancel off centre to E near NE angle of Coolbanagher Church. Archaeological supervision by Dominic Delany under licence no. 93E0142, of an ongoing conservation project at Coolbanagher church and graveyard commenced in October 1993. The project was necessitated by extensive site clearance works which had left the church ruins in a very unstable condition. The work is being carried out by FÁS employees on a youth training programme. The first phase of the project involves a full instrument and photographic survey of the site, and the excavation and sorting of buried rubble, particularly within the church ruins. Limited excavation is also being undertaken to uncover buried sections of church walling. During the course of these works a considerable amount of archaeological material has come to light. The finds include architectural fragments from the church buildings, quern stone fragments, iron slag, fragmented and scattered human skeletal remains and a couple of sherds of medieval and post-medieval pottery. It is hoped that the project will be completed in 1994. Archaeological excavation continued in advance of the ongoing F.Á.S. sponsored conservation project at Coolbanagher church and graveyard (Delany 1994, 50). The excavation has uncovered evidence for at least four phases of construction at the site. Phase 1: Early Christian: The original stone church was a simple rectangular structure with a trabeated west door and a round-headed east window. The characteristic cyclopean masonry is well preserved in the west gable and the lower north wall. An Early Christian cross slab was also found at the site. The slab had been re-used as a plinth stone in the north chancel wall extension (Phase 3). Phase 2: Romanesque:A chancel was added to the Phase 1 church and the west door was altered to accommodate a round-headed arch. The insertion of a chancel arch also necessitated the removal of the east window, which was probably transferred to the east end of the chancel. Only one of the Romanesque chancel arch fragments was found at the site. The plinth of the Phase 1 church was re-used as a step from nave to chancel. The Romanesque doorhead is composed of coarse red sandstone blocks which bear the characteristic incised line decoration. Two architectural fragments from the east window were re-used as packing over the door. This indicates that the removal of the east window was contemporary with the insertion of the Romanesque doorhead. It also indicates that the external arrangement of the window was altered after its removal. The north and south windows of the nave may also have been inserted at this time but their original form is unknown. The present opes are, for the most part, modern. Phase 3: Late Medieval:The chancel was extended and the east window was moved yet again. Collapsed architectural fragments from the window were found at the base of the extended gable wall. A second window was inserted at the south-west end of the chancel. A late medieval chamfered limestone sill, which was found lying in the graveyard, was probably taken from this window for re-use as a gravemarker. A Gothic arch of rough stonework, of which only the springers of the south side survive, was also inserted in place of the original Romanesque chancel arch. Indeed there is evidence of late medieval stonework throughout the fabric of the church building. Phase 4: Modern (non-ecclesiastical):This phase post-dates the burning of the church which is recorded in the year 1779. The ruins of the building appear to have been converted into an outhouse or barn sometime after this date. The fire damage was extensive and a considerable amount of rendering and repair work was required to stabilise the building prior to use. The west door was repaired and blocked and a new door was inserted at the south-west end of the church. The north and south windows of the nave were also widened at this time. Archaeological excavation carried out in 1993 by Dominic Delany under excavation licence no. 93E0142. Archaeological excavation continued in advance of the ongoing F.Á.S. sponsored conservation project at Coolbanagher church and graveyard (Delany 1994, 50), carried out in 1994 by Dominic Delany under excavation licence no. 93E0142. Land in the vicinity of the church was excavated by Thaddeus Breen in 1996 under licence no. 96E0313. Excavations were carried out along the line of the Portlaoise Water Supply Improvement Scheme where it passed close to four monuments, in this case the church and castle at Coolbanagher. Outside the churchyard two irregular pits were found, co

• LA008-015 Castle - hall-house
  Description

  Located on flat elevated pasture with good views in all directions, the castle stands on the N side of a driveway leading up to a post-1700 house located 35m to the ENE. The medieval ruins of Coolbanagher church (LA008-014001-) are located 90m to the SW. On the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map the castle is shown standing midway along the S boundary wall of a walled orchard. Today there are no upstanding remains of the S wall of the orchard but the N wall remains intact 50m to the N of the castle. The historic fabric of Coolbanagher Castle displays multi-phasing with evidence for at least three different building events, the floor levels of the castle were altered, wall fireplaces were inserted, narrow medieval windows were blocked up and tall brick lined windows were inserted into the S wall. An earlier site inspection of the castle (Wheeler 1969 SMR File) suggested that the castle was first built in the 13th century then modified in the 16th century with later 18th century insertions. In 1551, a 21 year lease was granted to Sir Ralph Bagenal which included the 'lands in Eyen [Eyne], Scrobo [Straboe], Syan [Shaen], the burgages of Raetyvyn [Ratheven] and a castle in decay and land in Cowlbaughell [Coolbanagher], parcel of the lordship of Irre, in Leix' (Nicholls 1994, 161). In the same year a second 21 year lease was granted to Ralph Bagenal which included the lands 'of Eyen (Eyne), Scrobo (Straboe), Sian (Shaen), Kilbanen, Kylenewarre (Ballydavis), Davidstown alias Ballydae (Ballydavis), Rabreny (Rathbrennan), the Buryes (Borris Great/Litle), and Raetevin (Ratheven), parcel of the lordship of Twomelegan, and Cowlbangher [Coolbanagher], parcel of the lordship of Irre in Lexe, possessions of the O'Mores' (Nicholls 1994, 181-2). This reference to a 'castle in decay' suggests that Coolbanagher Castle was built before the 16th century. The statement of its antiquity in 1551 would suggest that the castle was first built in the 13th or 14th century. In 1563 Coolbanagher passed into new hands, as on the 6th May a grant was made to Robert Hartpole, of Carlow, Gent., of ‘an old Castle in Colvanacre, alias Coolbanahore [Coolbanagher], in the Queen’s County, and the lands of Colvanacre [Coolbanagher], Ballarighan, Killgenne [Killimy], Ballenebeg, and Sheanbeg [Shaen], containing 200 acres of the country measure known as ‘Trry acres’; and also Ballimoironey, together with a parcell thereof called Ballinstraghe. These and other lands were to be held by Robert Hartpole and his heirs by knight’s service for ever; on condition of their maintaining six English horsemen in the service of the Crown, and of their attending all hostings or risings out when summoned, and of their giving a plough-day for each plough on their lands whensoever it should be required by the Constable of the Castle of Maryborough [Portlaoise]’ (Fitzgerald 1904, 301). In 1576 Robert Hartpole of Carlow was granted the ‘manor of the Blackeforde (LA014-045----), a castle in Monyferricke (LA014-100----), Rathmadocke alias the Blackeforde, the lands of Moniferick, Rathmadock alias the Blackeforde, Kilteighan, Garrans, Kilgessin, Ballekilkavan, Dromlin alias Killiclery, Inche alias Ballicowley, and Bavon an old castle in Colvanacre (LA008-015----) alias Colbanahore [Coolbanagher], the lands of Colvanacre alias Colbanahore, Ballarighan, Killgenne, Ballenebeg, Shanebeg, Ballemolrone, and Ballenestraghe, the lands of Shrowle [Shrule] (LA032-012001-), Ballyhormer, Ballecollin, Rathduf, Garribriken, Aghatenan, and Cappescribedor, in the lordship of Slemarge, a ruinous castle and lands in Clonrere [Clonreher] (LA013-019----) alias Merickeston, lands in Cultwerin, Killclonhoberd, Ballekillkaraghe, Knockandiere, Rathnemanaghe, and lands of Killehide, Ballehide, Garrenoe, Ballinecard, Farrinduf, Rossemore, and Ballim’Kegane, in the lordship of Slemarge, the lands of Ballirahen, Rossenalgan, Garroughe, Dormoile, and Capoile, or Cappahoile, in the same lordship; the advowson of the rectory of S. Fenton [Fintan], of Clowenenaghe [Clonenagh] (LA017-003001-), diocese of Leighlen, all in Queen’s co.. To hold for ever, by the service of a fouth part of a knight’s fee; rent £26 1s. 2d., Maintaining six English horsemen’ (Nicholls 1994, 376). In the second half of the 16th century Coolbanagher Castle was the residence of Sir William Hartpole, who succeeded his father as Constable of Carlow Castle (Fitzgerald 1904, 30306). In 1586 he is listed on a Crown Jury as ‘William Harpoole, of Coolbanagher’. On the 2nd of October 1603, William Hartpole of Coolbanagher was knighted in St. Mary’s Abbey by the Lord Deputy, Sir George Carey (Ibid., 307). Sir William Hartpole was probably responsible for the insertion of the pointed cut stone doorway in the N wall and for the wall fireplaces visible in the E wall. At this time the floor levels of the ‘old castle’ may have been changed. In 1658 the Books of Survey and Distribution recorded that the castle and lands of Coolbanagher were granted to Sir Richard Parsons of Birr Castle, Co. Offaly. In 1903 the castle was described as consisting of ‘an oblong butt of considerable height, but so hid under ivy as to be uninteresting. It measures outside 36 feet by 26 feet [11m x 7.9m]. The interior has been destroyed by modern alterations; openings have been made here and there with lintels formed of timber, fast rotting to decay. In the middle of the north wall remains the original entrance (now built up), which is a pointed arch of cut limestone. The groove runs round it in which 'the grate', or outer iron-barred door, fitted. And at the top and the right-hand side in the grove are holes through which the chains securing the door were passed and fixed on the inside’ (Ibid., 310). The castle consists of the remains of a tower house (max. ext. dims. 11m E-W, 7.50m N-S) standing four storeys high with the remains of a string course visible at roof level. A line of drainage holes are visible immediately above the string course. The walls of the castle are built of rubble limestone with alternating dressed limestone quoins, there is evidence of a slight-base batter. The N, S and E walls are best preserved standing to string course level. There is a horizontal line in the masonry above the doorway in the N wall along with some possible putlog holes and some unusual robbing out of the masonry located off centre to the E which may suggest that a second building or structure had been built up against this face of the castle. The horizontal line in the masonry visible at first floor level in the N wall of the castle may be the remains of a levelling course which represented a building break in the construction of the castle. There is evidence of at least seven blocked up windows in the external face of the N wall of the castle visible from first floor level upwards. A large gap in the centre of the E wall represents the remains of a broken out window. Two large cracks can be seen running up along the face of the wall from first floor to string course level. A narrow single light ogee-headed window can be seen at second floor level located off centre to N in the E wall. The external face of the S wall of the castle was covered in ivy at time, the remains of a broken out window in the centre of the S wall at first and third floor levels. At ground floor level in the centre of the S wall there is a large gap which appears to be the remains of a broken out window. The W wall is poorly preserved and stands to second floor level with a large central section of this wall missing from first floor level upwards. Externally on the W wall located off centre to N there is possible evidence of a crease line of a roof belonging to a building of uncertain date that was once built up against the W wall of the castle. The masonry in the external face of the W wall appears to have been patched and rebuilt possibly when a building was added on to the external face of this castle. The cast
