Recorded monuments

• LE026-015 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying, level landscape within Newtown Gore village. Depicted as a subcircular or D-shaped enclosure (diam. c. 35m) with what is described as a 'Corn Kiln' at its SW edge on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map, and as a large hachured D-shaped enclosure (ext. dims c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) backing onto a NNE-SSW road at W on the revised 1944 edition of the map, again with a 'Corn Kiln' at its W edge. It may have been a corn-drying kiln in a quarry associated with a corn mill that was c. 100m to the NNE. The location is now occupied by two houses. 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 revision: 28 February 2017

• LE026-016001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying, level landscape within Newtown Gore village. This is described as an ‘abbey’ (M’Parlan 1802, 103) with no known traditions, or it is possibly the parish church of the defunct parish of Moyagh (OS Name Books, No. 83, 106). It was probably a chapel-of ease to Drumreilly church (LE025-070001-) as it was part of that parish rather than Carrigallen on the Down Survey (1656-8) parish map where the church is depicted. The church is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 12.55m E-W; 8.5m N-S; int. dims 10.85m E-W; 6.9m N-S) with an intact east gable (H 6m) which has a single cusped ogee-headed window under a square hood-moulding. The doorway was towards the W end of the S wall and there is a destroyed window towards its E end. The W and N walls are damaged (H c. 3m) but without features. There is a Church of Ireland church within the rectangular graveyard (dims c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by masonry walls, but this church was built since 1835 and on the 6-inch map of that year ‘Moyagh Church’ is within small oval enclosure (dims c. 35m E-W; c. 25m N-S) defined by broken lines. The graveyard has a few headstones dating from 1733 at the old church to the present. 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: 7 July 2017
