- LE007-063001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CLE007-063001-. Situated on a little E-W rise on the floor of Glencar valley with a small E-W stream c. 70m to the N. The parish church of Killasnet is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 35m N-S) defined by earthen field banks. The church of Cill Asnad is on a 17th century list of churches in north Leitrim (Mooney 1946a, 66), but a church at Diffreen (LE006-015001-) may have been intended, in which case this church at Nure is not on the list or not identified. The church is a rectangular, ivy-covered structure (int. dims 15.4m E-W; 6.1m N-S) built of randomly coursed mortared limestone walls (Wth 0.85m) with dressed quoins, and its walls survive almost complete (max. H 3.5m). There is a destroyed doorway towards the W end of the S wall and a destroyed window in the E, S and W walls. Part of a twin-light round-headed window with glazing bars and grooves survives in the N wall together with part of the square hood-moulding, suggesting a late 16th or early 17th century date. 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

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.
