- LE015-103001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE015-103001-. Situated on a low E-W ridge in a low-lying landscape. This is the old Roman Catholic church of Killarga, which pre-dates the present church built in 1791 (Gallogly 1994, 434-5), although it may be on the site of the medieval parish church. It is marked on Taylor and Skinner's map of the roads of Ireland, which was surveyed in 1777 (Andrews 1969, 234). It is a rectangular roofless structure (ext. dims 12.48m E-W; 6.24m N-S) surviving in good condition, except the E and W walls which are almost entirely missing. It is built of coursed limestone mortared masonry walls (Wth 0.6m; max. H 2.8m) with good quoins. There is an external plinth on the N wall and there are three round-arched, splayed window openings (Wth 0.8m; H 1.5m plus) in the S wall. In the 1940a a round-headed doorway '7 feet high and 43 inches wide (c. 2.13m x 1.1m) survived in the W wall and there was a single round-headed window in the N wall (ITA survey). It is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 15-30m N-S) defined by masonry walls, which has been extended to the W (dims c. 25m N-S; c. 25m E-W). Saint Mary's holy well (LE015-105001-) is c. 350m to the SW. 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. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

On a low E-W ridge in a low-lying landscape. The old Roman Catholic church of Killarga (LE015-103001-) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 15-30m N-S) defined by masonry walls, which has been extended to the W (dims c. 25m N-S; c. 25m E-W). The headstones date from c. 1820 to c. 1970. Date of upload; 23 September, 2008

Situated at the base of a S-facing slope in a deciduous wood. This is a natural well in a rock cleft at the bottom of a low cliff (H 1.8m) which is surrounded by a stone wall, making a small rectangular enclosure (int. dims c. 3.5m x 3.5m) which contains statues and offerings. An upright slab (H 1.2m; Wth 0.4m; T 0.15m) fashioned into a rough cross, probably from an 18th-century cut-stone window lintel, is surmounted by a sandstone finial cross (H 0.35m; Span 0.28m; T 0.16m) with a solid ring head (diam. 0.2m). Both features are possibly from the old church at Killarga (LE015-103001-). The well enclosure is surrounded by five metal crosses and an iron railing. A rag-tree enclosed in a small cairn (diam. 2m; max. H 0.6m) is situated just SW of the well. The saint is held locally to be called Arguill and the pattern is held on August 15th (See this web-page accessed on 22/09/2016: http://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4605940/4604191). The first Roman Catholic church of Killarga (LE015-103001-), possibly on the site of the medieval parish church, is c. 350m to the NW. See the attached view from the S.

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.
