## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- LE006-015001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE006-015001-. Situated on a knoll on the floor of Glencar valley. A square graveyard (dims 32m N-S; 32m E-W), defined by mortared stone walls (H 1.4m), is possibly on the site of an early church founded by St Osnat in the 6th century (O'Hanlon 1875, vol. 1, 86-7; O'Connell 1937, 108-9). The graveyard has been extended to the W (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S). Osnad was said to be one of the many children of Cuman, an aunt of St Bridget, and by some as one of the three sisters of St Molaise of Devinish, but otherwise she is hardly known (Ó Riain 2011, 522-3). A church at Cill Asnad is on a 17th century list of churches in north Leitrim (Mooney 1946a, 66), but the parish church (LE007-063001-) may have been intended. A fragment of a medieval window mullion in the graveyard is the only indication of a later, medieval, church, but the head of a stone cross (Wth c. 0.75m; H c. 0.5m; T c. 0.2m) with a solid ring and a figure with outstretched arms on both faces is thought to have been moved from here to the Roman Catholic church of Dromahair (NMI file), where it cannot now be found. This cross could be as late as the 17th century. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 12 January, 2016
- LE006-015002: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE006-015002-. Situated on a knoll on the floor of Glencar valley. A square graveyard (dims 32mN-S; 32m E-W), defined by mortared stone walls (H 1.4m), is possibly on the site of an early ecclesiastical site founded by St Osnat or Osnad in the 6th century (LE006-015001-). The graveyard has been extended to the W (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S). The head of a stone cross (LE006-015003-) is thought to have been moved from here to the Roman Catholic church of Dromahair (NMI file), where it cannot now be found.

A fragment of a medieval window mullion in the graveyard (LE006-015002-) is the only indication of a church, but the head of a stone cross (Wth c. 0.75m; H c. 0.5m; T c. 0.2m) with a solid ring and a figure with outstretched arms on both faces is thought to have been moved from here to the Roman Catholic church of Dromahair (NMI file), where it cannot now be found.

Situated on a slight S-facing slope on the floor of the Glencar valley. It is visible as a feature on the OSI series of aerial images (2000, 2005) and those of Bing (2013). This is a D-shaped grass and rush-covered area (dims 24m E-W; 20.5m N-S) defined by a grass-covered earthen bank (at N: Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.1m) NW-NE, reduced to a scarp (Wth 3m; H 0.2m) SW-NW. It is truncated by a N-S field bank at E and by the road bank of the N16 Sligo to Manorhamilton road at S. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 3 July, 2017

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

---

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
