• LI012-015001 Church
  Description

  Kilkeedy Church described in 1840 as following; 'The old church of this parish, situated in the glebe of Kilkeedy, appears to have been a lateral building formerly attached to a larger one; as it lies contrary to the direction of almost all old churches, the greatest length of this church being from North to South (29 ft. [8.83m]). The modern church would seem to occupy the site of the ancient main buildings, the North wall of the former being attached to the S end of the present ruin which has lost the southern wall. Its breadth from east to west is 18 ft. [5.5m]. The east wall had a window, the form of which is now destroyed. There is a doorway on the west wall 20 ft. [6m] from the north wall and 5 ft. [1.5m] from the wall of the new church. It is 6 ft. [1.8m] high by 4 ft. 2 in. [1.27m] and arched with thin stones on the inside; on the outside it is 5½ ft. [1.6m] high by 3 ft. 5 in. [1m] and has a round arch of cut limestone. The walls are about 10 ft. [3m] high & 3 ft. 2 in. [0.92m] in thickness. This church does not appear to be very old. There is another small portion of a wall 9 ft. [2.7m] east of this, but it is utterly featureless. There is a large graveyard attached' (OSL vol. 2, 134-5). Westropp gives the following details about Kilkeedy Church; 'A parish in Pubblebrian. Perhaps Kelliedun, 1201; Kilkid, 1302. Thomas de Burgo was found to have held the perpetual vicarage of Kylkyde, now lapsed to the Pope, 1369 (Papal Petitions, i., p. 450; Theiner, p. 339). Keilchidy dedicated to SS. Simon and Jude (28th Oct.), 1410. Kilkydy granted with other rectories formerly belonging to Athassell to G. Moore, 1578 (Fiant,3414). Kilkide in repair with a thatched roof (Visitation, 1615). Given in D.S.(B.) 26 map and Civil Survey. Fabric - Of the older church, only a north wing, 29 feet [8.85m] north and south and 18 feet [5.5m] wide, and a featureless fragment to the east still remain. The east wall has a defaced window, the west, a door, arched inside with flags and with cut stone outside. Monuments - Samuel Cooper, of Cooper Hill, 1779, and James and Mary Berry' (Westropp 1904-5, 369). Church of Ireland church ruins described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as a; 'Freestanding Board of First Fruits Church of Ireland church, rebuilt in 1813, having three-stage square-plan tower to west and four-bay nave.

• LI012-015003 Stone head
  Description

  Medieval sandstone head incorporated into external face of W wall of post-1700 C of I church close to NW angle.

Carved sandstone head with oval-shaped eyes, grooved cheeks and open mouth with broken nose and small ears. The grooving of the cheeks along with the open mouth gives the face a grotesque appearance. The surface of the head displays a lot of weathering with flaking visible around the mouth and along the sides of the head. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 30 October 2018
