• LI056-002002 Road - road/trackway
  Description

  Hilltop monastery reputedly founded by St. Patrick and renamed Ardpatrick, hilltop formerly known as Tulach na Feinne [Hill of the Fianna] (Westropp 1922, 78). Monastery accessed from a road (L. c. 760m) to W known locally as the Rian Bó Phádraig (Patrick's cow road/ Road of St. Patrick's Cow) which is clearly visible on OSi and Google Earth orthoimages. Foundation legend associated with this roadway recorded by Lenihan (1866, 721) as follows; 'Another great curiosity was the “slug of the horn of St. Patrick's little cow". This animal it was that supplied the saint with his daily milk'. Folklore collected from Ardpatrick National School recorded the following details about the Rian Bó Phádraig; ‘On the hill here stand the remains of an abbey with small church [LI056-002008-] attached & close to both are the remains of a round tower [LI056-002003-]. St Patrick is said to have approached the hill from the west passing through the neighbouring parish of Effin. A trace of the old road was pointed out to me by an old man & referred to by some others. He called the old road 'Rian bo Padraig'. I some years ago pointed this out to a surveyor from the Ordnance Survey Office & it is now marked on the Ordnance map. It runs up the hill from the west & its line can still be plainly seen. [Informant] Heard this from his father & from 'all the old people‘ (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0509, Page 201; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922041/4921283). Westropp (1917, 476) recorded the following about this roadway; 'The "Slug of St. Patrick's Cow' made when the unruly beast ran away from Ardpatrick, was called by Irish speakers Rian bo Phadhruig, as I was told on my visit in 1877. It is an old roadway, leading from the utterly defaced church [LI056-002008-] and round tower [LI056-002003-] of Ardpatrick, slightly to the west, north-west. Part of it has been cut, by nature or man, into the rock for a depth of over 8 feet [2.4m], and 16 feet [4.9m] to 20 feet [6m] wide; part is only fenced'.

• LI056-002003 Round tower
  Description

  Situated on the summit of Ardpatrick with commanding views of the surrounding countryside, accessed from a road to W known locally as the Rian Bó Phádraig (LI056-002002-). Hilltop monastery reputedly founded by St. Patrick and renamed Ardpatrick, hilltop formerly known as Tulach na Feinne [Hill of the Fianna] (Westropp 1922, 78). The poorly preserved remains of Ardpatrick round tower (H c. 3m; base diam. c. 5.3m) lie c. 7m W of the graveyard wall with church ruins (LI056-002008-) 14m to SE, surrounded by a field system with large ecclesiastical enclosure (LI056-002006-) associated with a monastery founded by St. Patrick. St Patrick’s Well (LI056-002007-) lies 35m to S. Ardpatrick church ruins depicted on the 17th century Down Survey map of Ballingaddy parish where it is shown standing beside a tower which is presumably the remains of the round tower in Ardpatrick (NLI, MS 718). The terrier of the Down Survey parish map recorded that in ‘Ardpatrick are the walls of a Church & a Watchtower’ (ibid.). Folklore collected from Ardpatrick National School recorded the following details about Ardpatrick Hill; ‘On the hill here stand the remains of an abbey with small church [LI056-002003-] attached & close to both are the remains of a round tower. St Patrick is said to have approached the hill from the west passing through the neighbouring parish of Effin. A trace of the old road was pointed out to me by an old man & referred to by some others. He called the old road 'Rian bo Padraig' [LI056-002002-]. I some years ago pointed this out to a surveyor from the Ordnance Survey Office & it is now marked on the Ordnance map. It runs up the hill from the west & its line can still be plainly seen. [Informant] Heard this from his father & from 'all the old people‘ (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0509, Page 201; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922041/4921283). Monument described in 1866 as; ‘On delving into the stump of the round tower, after clearing away the fallen stones and rubbish that choked the upper part of the structure, the delvers came upon a bed of earth, which extended down for some feet. This, according as it was shovelled out, they examined, but it presented nothing particular beyond a piece of coarse amber, weighing about a quarter of pound, a small piece of metal sconce, some fragments of mortar, and a piece of brass. What its use or purpose there is no telling, but the strangest things found were a number of oyster shells. Of five silver bells, said to have belonged to the monastery, long missing, three were found in the ruins of the tower, and carried away by the excavators. The workmanship, i.e. stone dressing, etc., of this tower is excellent. They constructed the wall by facing it internally and externally with cut stone, and filling up the space between with rubble, whilst that of the neighbouring church is very rude’ (Lenihan 1866, 720-1). Westropp (1898, 304) described the round tower as following; ‘Ardpatrick; h. 8 feet [2.4m]. Stump. In its base were found oyster shells, fragments of metal, and lump of amber, and it is said three bells. Local name, "Cluice". In 1906 the following details were recorded; 'A short distance to the west of the church [LI056-002008-] there is a stump of a round tower, which must have been one of the finest in Ireland in its day, judging from the site. There is also a well [LI056-002007-] near the tower said to be forty feet [12.2m] in depth and lined with stones, but now closed up' (Begley 1906, 95-6). Round tower described by Crawford (1908) as standing ‘outside the graveyard wall [LI056-002009-], north-west of the church [LI056-002008-], is reduced to a mere stump, 9 feet [2.7m] high, and 17 feet 6 inches [5.3m] in diameter. It is remarkable for the regularity of its masonry, and must, when complete, have been a fine building. The walls, 4 feet [1.2m] thick, are built of large squared stones in courses'. Remains of tower described by Lalor (1999, 179) as; ‘Ardpatrick is among the slightest of tower remains. Nine courses stand on the north, dropping away to ground level on the southern side; the entire circumference is visible. Much masonry debris has accumulated around the base of the tower. The masonry, of well-cut horizontal courses with vertical joints, suggests a late tower of fine quality, of which both external and internal surfaces are extant. Lime mortar is visible in the exposed joints. No architectural features survive, nor is a base offset visible, although this may be concealed by the accumulated debris around the base. A fine stone wall, some of the stones of which look suspiciously as if they might have been cannibalised from the early buildings, encloses the older portion of the graveyard [LI056-002009-]’.

Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 29) recorded that a monastery was founded at Ardpatrick by St. Patrick. The Tripartite Life of St. Patrick stated that Patrick 'desired an ecclesiastical establishment (congbail) in Ard-Pátraic; and Patrick's flagstone (lec) is there and the boundary of his church site (torainn achillí) [LI056-002006-]' (Ó Carragáin 2010, 131; Stokes 1887 vol. 1, 208-9). The curving field boundary depicted to the NW-N-E-S of Ardpatrick church on the 1927 ed. OSi 6-inch map represents the remains of the ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 255m) of the early Christian monastery of Ardpatrick. On the OSi 25-inch map the field boundary is only depicted running from E-S which is clearly visible as a curving field boundary on Digital Globe orhoimage taken 2001-13.

• LI056-002007 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Folklore collected from Ardpatrick National School recorded the following details about Ardpatrick holy well; ‘There is a holy well now nearly filled up on the hill here. The water lay about 15ft from surface, people said that if on looking down you did not see your reflection in the water you would die before the current year ran out. This well is marked on the ordnance map as Ardpatrick well & known as such to the people’ (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0509, Page 429; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922041/4921413). Folklore collected from Kilmallock National School recorded the following tradition about ‘The Ancient Well of Ardpatrick’; ‘Near Ardpatrick, which is about a mile from Kilfinane, Co. Limerick, is situated an old well which is called the Robbers Well. If you looked into this well, and you didn't see your reflection, you were supposed to die within the year. But if you did see your reflection you were to have great joy. One Sunday morning when the people were coming home from mass, a young couple went across the field where the Robbers Well was. They were laughing gaily as they peeped down over the edge of the well to see if they could see their reflections below in the clear water. But sad to say no fresh young faces looked up from below. They left the well with heavy hearts, but they soon forgot all about it, and some months later they were married. One morning the maid went up to call the boy and girl and getting no response she went into the room. A queer sight met her eyes, the bed-clothes were flung around the room, and on the bed lay the bodies of the once happy couple, killed by the Robbers Well’ (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0528, Page 389; https://www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4922115/4853532). Ó Danachair (1955, 206) recorded the following details about this holy well; 'St Patrick's Well on 1840 map. A shaft about two and a half feet square, now dry and filled with rubble to about six feet below ground level, but said to have been forty feet deep. Probably was the well which supplied water to the monastery. Rounds were made within living memory but are now discontinued. The water was said to cure rheumatism, lameness and rickets. Formerly much visited on 17th March. Legend: A person who could not see his reflection in the well would die within a year'.

According to the Annals of Inisfallen in 1079 Bishop O Suairlig died at Ardpatrick, while Diarmait O Longain, coarb of Ardpatrick died here in 1113. According to the Annals of the Four Masters the monastery was burned in 1114 (O’Donovan 1856, 999). In 1129 the Annals recorded that in this year ‘Ceallach [Celsus], successor of Patrick, a son of purity, and Archbishop of the west of Europe, the only head whom the foreigners and Irish of Ireland, both laity and clergy, obeyed; after having ordained bishops, priests, and persons of every degree; after having consecrated many churches and cemeteries; after having bestowed jewels and wealth; after having established rules and good morals among all, both laity and clergy; after having spent a life of fasting, prayer, and mass-celebration; after unction and good penance, resigned his spirit to heaven, at Ard-Padraig, in Munster, on the first day of April, on Monday precisely, in the fiftieth year of his age. His body was conveyed for interment, on the Wednesday following, to Lis-mor-Mochuda, in accordance with his own will; it was waked with psalms, hymns, and canticles, and interred with honour in the tomb of the bishops, on the Thursday following. Muircheartach, son of Domhnall, was appointed to the successorship of Patrick afterwards’ (O’Donovan 1856, 1034-5). According Ó Riain (2011, 160-1) he died on the 1st of April in 1129 and later in the 17th century his feastday was celebrated on the 6th of April. Church ruins depicted on the 17th century Down Survey map of Ballingaddy parish where it is shown standing beside a tower which is presumably the remains of the round tower (LI056-002003-) in Ardpatrick (NLI, MS 718). The terrier of the Down Survey parish map recorded that in ‘Ardpatrick are the walls of a Church & a Watchtower’ (ibid.). Ardpatrick church ruins described in 1840 as follows; ‘An old Church stands in ruins on the summit of Ardpatrick Hill, which is round and high. The east and west gables have fallen into utter ruin. Thirty three feet [10m] in length of side walls at the east end fell to ruin also. The length of the building was eighty five feet [26m] and breadth twenty four feet [7.3m]. No window is visible on any of the walls that remain. There is a doorway on the north wall at the distance of twenty one and a half feet [6.5m] from the west gable (end): which is six and a half feet [1.8m] high and four feet, four inches [1.3m] broad on the inside where there is a flat arch (i.e. a small segment of a large circle) at top, which is built with hammered brown sandstone. This doorway had on the outside two arches attached to each other, the outer one semicircular and the inner pointed. The outer or semicircular one built with chiselled brown sandstone. Only four stones of the arch now remain on the west side. The remainder and the shafts that, supported it, and partly formed the sides of the doorway, have been entirely destroyed. This arch was a structure even with the wall of the Church on the external. The pointed arch and the sides on which it rests are built with chiselled limestone. It (the arch forming the doorway) is five feet four inches [1.6m] in height and three feet two inches [0.96m] in breadth. One of the stones has been removed from the back side next the ground. The semi-circular arch and the side wall with which it was on a level on the external, as has been just now remarked, projected beyond this one, one foot eight inches [0.5m] in the lower part of the sides, one foot four inches [0.4m] at the lowest part of the semicircular one that now remains and one foot one inch [0.33m] at the fourth stone, which is the one directly over the pointed arch. The side walls are about eighteen feet high [5.5m] and five feet [1.5m] thick. Materials are large blocks of red stone and cement of lime and sand mortar. There are some stones seen in the lowest part of the walls, which are no less than one and a half tuns in weight each. The side walls projected six and a half feet [2m] beyond the west gable. Here follows the form of the projecting part of one of them; it is eight feet [2.4m] thick. It is sloped in the upper part. There was a building attached to the north east corner of this church, extending in a northerly direction. Some small portions of the walls still remain. The length of this edifice was twenty five feet [7.6m] in breadth, eighteen feet [5.5m]. The walls were three feet eight inches [1.1m] thick. The stones used in construction it were not so large as those in the church just described’(O’Flanagan 1929, 86-7). Westropp (1904-5, 426-7) recorded the following details about Ardpatrick; 'W. de Burgo granted it as part of Fontemel, 1199 (C.S.P.I, vol. i., No. 95). It appears in the lists of 1201, 1291, 1302, 1410, 1418, 1591, 1615, and 1633. Records are fairly numerous. Malachi, its rector, swore obedience to the bishop, 1263 (B.B.L., p. 44); Philip Harold was vicar, 1299 (Plea R. Cal., vol. v., p. 94) ; Robert f. Henry robbed the church, 1318 (ib.,123 of xi Ed. II, m. 34). It was a small monastery, and owned Ballingowsse, Ballycowsing, Ballynanynye, and Balligertane, "nup. converb. dom. relig. de Ardpatrick dissolut.", 1589 (Inq., 19). The "converb." also held the hill, 30 acres of great measure, and 21 of small. The Langanes were hereditary coarbs (2 Inquisitions, xxxix Eliz.). The Down Survey (A. 57) gives a sketch of the church and tower, "Upon ye Ard Patricke are ye walls of a church and a watch tower," 1656. The round tower had three storeys, and a broken top. Tradition, even in the eleventh century, said that the hill was granted to St. Patrick on condition that he should remove the mountain of Cenn Febraith. This miracle made the cleft of Belach Legtha (Trip. Life, p. 209). Fabric - It stands on the shoulder of a steep ridge, with high ranges to the south. The ends had fallen in 1840. It was 85 feet [25.9m] by 24 feet [7.3m]. There was a north door 21½ feet [6.5m] from west, with a flat splay arch, and round-headed arch of gritstone, outside in which is set a later pointed door of limestone. In the south wall a deep recess, with a pointed arch, lay towards the east. At the north-east angle projected a south wing, 25 feet [7.6m] by 18½ feet [5.6m]; the walls, 3 feet 8 inches [1.1m], now nearly levelled. The walls are of large blocks, and project 6½ feet [2m] beyond the west end; they are 18 feet [5.5m] by 5 feet [1.5m]. The broken round tower [LI056-002003-] stood 39 feet [11.9m] from the north-west corner. It is 56 feet [17m] in circumference, a

  Description

  Hilltop monastery reputedly founded by St. Patrick and renamed Ardpatrick, hilltop formerly known as Tulach na Feinne [Hill of the Fianna] (Westropp 1922, 78). The medieval church ruins (LI056-002008-) of Ardpatrick stands in centre of graveyard which consists of a rectangular-shaped area (approx. dims. 48m N-S x 56m E-W) enclosed by post-1700 stone wall with graveyard extension to E. Ruins of round tower (LI056-002003-) immediately to NW and St. Patrick's Well (LI056-002007-) 15m to SSW. Oblique aerial photographs (CUCAP, ATD049-055/060-061) taken 21/07/1967 shows the church (LI056-002008-) and graveyard (LI056-002009-) standing in the centre of a large hilltop enclosure which may be the remains of the ecclesiastical enclosure (LI056-002006-) of Ardpatrick monastery. Extensive remains of a field system in the form of rectangular-shaped enclosures are clearly visible on the Hill of Ardpatrick. Ó Carragáin (2010, 306) recorded that 'a trabeate lintel with plain-relief architrave has been reused as part of a stile. It is definitely from a pre-Romanesque church, rather than from the ruined round tower, but otherwise little or no early fabric from this church survives'. Numerous architectural fragments including Romanesque decorated stone has been taken from the church and reused as gravemarkers in the surrounding graveyard (pers. comm. Sarah McCutcheon 12/02/2021).
