The pre-Reformation parish church, dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity, was demolished in 1818 (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 340). No visible surface remains. Its site is now occupied by the 19th century Church of Ireland church. Rathdowney derives its name from 'Rath Domhnaiagh, the Rath of the Domhnach or Church'(LA028-055003-) (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 339) where a large quantity of human bones were discovered in 1840 possibly indicating the site of an ancient church and graveyard (LA028-055004-). The pre-Reformation parish church was dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity and was demolished in 1818 (Carrigan 1905 vol. 2, 339-40). Church of Ireland church was probably built on site of the earlier church. No visible surface remains of medieval church. 'In 1465 Dermod Hoily, cleric of Ossory Diocese, bound himself, as principal, to the Camera Apostolica, for the annats of the perpetual vicariate of the parochial church of Draithdonhnaigh (Rathdowney), in the said Diocese of Ossory, vacant by the deprivation of John Olanrn' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 340). 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.

Not marked on the 1841 or 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch maps. 135m NE of Rathdowney Protestant church (LA028-055001-) was a circular flat-topped enclosure (diam. 22.5-7m, H c. 2.43m). It was levelled in 1840 and five cart loads of human bones were removed from it; possible site of ancient church (LA028-055002-) (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 339, 340). No visible surface remains. Earthwork was levelled around 1804 and was replaced by a school house that was subsequently knocked down and replaced by a handball alley and CYMS building that is now used as a snooker club. This monument may have been a ringwork that was situated beside the old medieval church of Rathdowney (LA028-055002-), and inside the graveyard that enclosed this medieval church. Could have been the site of the thirteenth century castle that was built by Adam de Hereford between 1207-1213. Described by Carrigan as 'Rath Domhnaigh, the Rath of the Domhnach or Church. 'The 'Rath' from which the name has its origin, was situated at the north side of Rathdowney Square, in Mr. Patrick Murphy's yard and garden, 150 yards north-east of the Protestant church. It was circular in shape, 25 or 30 yards in diameter and flat at the top, and raised about 8ft. Over the surrounding land. The presence of such a great quantity of human bones would certainly point to the rath as the site of an ancient churchyard, and, consequently, of a Domhnach or Church' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 339-40). In 1207 and 1213 Adam de Hereford was granted the 'tuath of Mamocle in which his castle of Radouney stands' (Cunningham 1987, 166). Could be the same site as the unlocated castle within townland that is mentioned in the OS letters as 'About that time the royal palace (castle?) of that territory which is called rath Bacain, began to be erected from the foundation' (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, p. 12).

C of I church in centre of graveyard, this church may have been built on the site of an earlier medieval church (LA028-055001-). The medieval graveyard may have extended northwards across the public road and into the properties to the NE of the church. Possible ringwork (LA028-055003-) may have been situated within the grounds of this medieval graveyard.

Described by Carrigan as 'a town, Rathdowney cannot boast of any great antiquity. It must have been a very small village in 1665, as only about a dozen persons paid hearth money in the whole townland of Rathdowney in this year' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 340). Described by Feehan as 'Rathdowney takes its name from a 'rath' (LA028-055003-) which stood until 1840 at the north end of the town square, close to the site of the medieval parish church (LA028-055001-) of Rathdowney, which was where the Protestant church stands. The ringfort may have been the seat of the Gaelic civil power in the local lordship in early medieval times, and together with the church made the place a natural focus for settlement which attracted the Normans in the late twelfth century' (Feehan 1983, 397-8). In the thirteenth century the manor of Rathdowney figures prominently in the Ormond Deeds (Cunningham 1987, 166). Between 1207 and 1213 Adam de Hereford was granted the 'tuath of Mamocle in which his castle (LA028-055003-) of Radouney[Rathdowney] stands' (Cunningham 1987, 166). The historical references to the manor of Rathdowney along with the presence of a medieval church and thirteenth century castle all suggest that the present village of Rathdowney is built on the site of a thirteenth century settlement. This settlement is lkely to have been located on either side of the main street from the Church (LA028-055001-) and ringwork (LA028-055003-) at the Northern end of the town stretching southwards towards the River at the southern end of the modern village of Rathdowney.
