• LI001-004001 Church
  Description

  Pre-Norman church ruins annotated 'Friary' stands on the grounds of 'Cloon Island Ho.' (NIAH Reg. No. 21807009) located 20m to the SW. Two early Christian cross-slabs (LI001-004002-/003-) are incorporated into the W gable of this church. Building annotated 'Friary' on 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map, and stands on top of 'Cloon Island', overlooking the River Shannon from SW-W-N with the village of Castleconnell to SE. The presence of two early Christian cross-slabs, the church of uncertain provenance along with the Cloon Island place-name may suggest that this was the site of an early Christian monastery rather than a Franciscan foundation. Alternatively 'Cloon Island' may have been the site of an Early Christian monastery which in the 13th century became a Franciscan foundation. The Anglo-Norman castle (LI001-003----) of Castleconnell stands 300m to S and the medieval parish church (LI001-002001-) lies 830m to S. Friary building described by Westropp (1904-5, 436) as a 'so-called "friary,"of unknown identity, on an islet in the Shannon'. No church is depicted on the Down Survey map of Stradbally parish and not mentioned in the terrier of the map where it is described as 'an Island in ye Shannon' (NLI, MS 718). According to Ferrar's History of Limerick, the friary on Cloon Island was 'founded in 1291 by a Bourke or de Burgo, baron of Castle Connell' (Ferrar 1787, 193). In 1837 the site was described as following; 'on the island opposite Tontine, which was formerly called Inis-cluan; it consists of the remains of a friary, founded in 1291 by Reginald de Burgh, for Franciscans, and has lately been converted into out-houses to a handsome newly erected cottage [Island Ho.]' (Lewis 1837, Vol. 1, 293). In 1840 this building was described in Ordnance Survey Letters for Stradbally parish as following; 'It is said that this island [Cloon Island] was artificially made. A Franciscan Friary was founded on it in 1291, and its remains have been converted into a coach house and offices to a newly erected house [Island Ho.], 2 story high, 50 ft. [16m] long and 45 ft. [15m] broad. It is said that persons were buried on the island in former times; but there is now no trace of a burial ground' (OSL Stradbally Parish). Church building described by Macalister (1949, 98) as 'a small, plain ruined church on this island'. The church and its island setting was recently described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 187-8) as following; 'Cloon island is a former island in the channels of the river Shannon, 7km downstream of Killaloe. The site now covers approximately nine acres but the water is considerably lower than previously, due to a hydro-electric scheme extraction. The ruined church may date from the twelfth century. In addition to the inscribed stone [LI001-004002-], evidence of an early medieval foundation is provided by an uninscribed cross-slab [LI001-004003-] incised with a Latin cross with expanded terminals, enclosed in a rectangular frame. Between the church and the house [Cloon House] there is a cross-base [LI001-004005-], with a T-shaped slot, of unknown date.'

• LI001-004002 Cross-inscribed stone
  Description

  One of two cross-slabs (LI001-004003-) incorporated into a church (LI001-004001-) on the grounds of 'Cloon Island Ho.' which stands 20m to the SW. Church ruins situated on top of 'Cloon Island', overlooking the River Shannon from SW-W-N with the village of Castleconnell to SE. Cross-slab (a) described by Crawford (1912, 240) as following; 'Built into the west wall of the ruined church [LI001-004001-] on the island close to Castleconnell and Doonass. (a) A slab about 2 ft [0.6m] by 1 ft. 10 in. (0.55m), carved with a plain encircled Greek cross of two lines. Round the top is a defaced inscription, with small initial cross'. This slab was drawn by William Wakeman for Dr. Petrie in 1840 and described as following; 'The inscription on this stone is so much destroyed that only a few letters can be read. There are some indistinct markings on the right-hand side of the stone that look like part of an Ogham inscription. The stone is built into the interior face of the north wall of a very ancient church [LI001-004001-] upon an island in the Shannon, near Doonass' (Stokes 1872 Vol. 2, 13). The slab was described by Macalister (1949, 98) as 'an approximately circular disc of stone built into the outer face of the west wall of a small, plain ruined church on this island'. Macalister (ibid.) recorded the following reading of the Latin inscription as 'LOBED FECET CRUCE[M]'. Stone slab with Latin inscription of possible 8th century date which was recently described by Okasha and Forsyth (2001, 185-7) as following; 'The stone [dims. 0.34m x 0.35m] is built into the exterior face of the west wall of Cloon church [LI001-004001]. Its edges are rough and rather damaged but it appears to be substantially intact both the stone and the carving are badly weathered. The face of the stone contains an outline equal-armed cross set inside two concentric circles. The arms of the cross open into the circular frame formed by the two circles. The text fills the available space and may be complete. It is incised in two curved lines around the perimeter of the circle with the bottoms of the letters to the circle. The inner line begins at about the ten o'clock position and continues to the five o'clock position. The outer line begins at the two o'clock position and continues until the three o'clock position. The stone and the carving are badly weathered and the letters are highly deteriorated. The text is now very worn and too indistinct to read with any confidence. The present authors could find no evidence on the stone to justify this [Macalister's] reading and, indeed, the extant remains seem to rule it out'. Okasha and Forsyth could only identify a few letters and they recorded the inscription as now visible as '[.--][B][.][ND][--][L] | A[.][--]A'. This ruined medieval church is in the grounds of a private house at Cloon Island, Castleconnell. The stone is set 81cm from the ground and 69cm to the right (that is, the south) of the doorway and is obscured from view by a large shrub. The stone has been known since 1840 when W.F. Wakeman drew it for Petrie who stated that this stone was `built into the interior face of the north wall of a very ancient church upon an island in the Shannon, near Doonass'. Petrie may have made an error in describing which wall it was built into, an easy mistake if he had not himself seen the stone. Alternatively, the stone might have been moved from the north to the west wall at some time between 1840 and 1912 when Crawford described it in its present position.' See attached drawing of cross-slab by William Wakeman, taken from Stokes 1872, No. 15, plate VIII and drawing of slab No. 918 taken from Macalister 1949.

• LI001-004004 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Church ruins (LI001-004001-) of a possible Franciscan friary or an early Christian monastery stands on the grounds of 'Cloon Island Ho.' (NIAH Reg. No. 21807009) located 20m to the SW. Two early Christian cross-slabs (LI001-004002-/003-) are incorporated into the W gable of this church. Building annotated 'Friary' on 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map, and stands on top of 'Cloon Island', overlooking the River Shannon from SW-W-N with the village of Castleconnell to SE. The Anglo-Norman castle (LI001-003----) of Castleconnell stands 300m to S and the medieval parish church (LI001-002001-) lies 830m to S. According to the Ordnance Survey Letters, 'Cloon House' may have been built on the site of a holy well. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Letters for Stradbally parish recorded the following local tradition about Cloon House; 'It is said to have been built by a man named Burke, who became insane and died as the result of stopping a blessed well, which had formerly been where Cloon House now stands, and the waters of which had cured the blind and the lame. the house is said to be still haunted by some invisible being. As regards the well, it is said that, after being stopped by Burke, it burst forth on the edge of the Shannon, through which it flows without mingling, so that its water can be taken out of the river without any mixture with the river water' (OSL Stradbally Parish).
