Recorded monuments

• LE012-013001 Church
  Description

  Situated in an undulating landscape on the floor of Glenfarne valley, with a curving NE-SW section of the Cornavannoge River c. 50-70m to the SE. This is the site of the church listed as Kill McCoyril in the Register of Clonmacnoise (O'Donovan 1857, 451; Pinkman 1942, 35), and a church of Cill Mic Coirill, or Kill Mic Oilill, is listed as a church in north Leitrim in a late 17th century document (Mooney 1946a, 65). This was probably a chapel-of ease to the parish church (LE011-019001-) of Cloonclare, but it may be on an older site. Traditionally, the name is thought to be derived from “Cill Mac Faurcheallaig (Farrell’s church)”, after a woman pilgrim who was assaulted nearby (Faughnan 1943). There is no evidence that there was ever a church within the subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) depicted on the 1835 and 1910 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a Burial Ground on both. The graveyard has been extended to the S (dims c. 90m NNE-SSW; 37m WNW-ESE) defined by modern masonry walls, but the older N part is overlying a grass-covered oval enclosure (dims c. 100m WNW-ESE; c. 60m NNE-SSW) defined by a widely spread earthen bank or scarp, which could be an ecclesiastical enclosure. 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 revised upload: 4 April 2016

• LE012-013002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated in an undulating landscape on the floor of the Glenfarne valley. The church listed in the Register of Clonmacnoise (LE012-013001-) (O'Donavan1857, 451) was probably located within the subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 40m E-W) depicted on the 1835 and 1910 eds of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as a Burial Ground on both. The graveyard has been extended to the S (dims c. 90m NNE-SSW; 37m WNW-ESE) defined by modern masonry walls, but the older N part is overlying a grass-covered oval ecclesiastical enclosure (LE012-013003-).

• LE012-014 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise on the floor of Glenfarne valley. This is a grass and reed-covered circular area (int. diam. 24m E-W; 23m N-S) defined by an intermittently visible earthen bank (Wth 2m; max. H 0.3m) which is separated by a fosse (Wth at base 1.82m; D 0.2m) from an outer bank (Wth 3.7m; ext. H 0.9m). There is an entrance (Wth 5m) through both banks, and a causeway, at SE.
