• LI009-002 Enclosure
  Description

  In reclaimed undulating pasture. Site has been levelled but is still apparent as roughly heart-shaped area (20.4m N-S; 23m E-W) defined by scarped edge, best preserved WSW->ENE (H c. 0.7m; Wth.. c. 6m) but barely perceptible elsewhere (H c. 0.2m; Wth.. c. 4m). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI009-003 Cliff-edge fort
  Description

  On the S bank of the Glashanagark River. The monument, which is depicted as an embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on the 1923 OS 6-inch map, is now covered by impenetrable woodland and scrub. Partial access on its E side suggests a level interior defined on its N side by a steep fall of ground down to the river bank, and elsewhere defined by a scarped edge (ext. H 2.6m) with an external fosse (D 0.9m; Wth 3.6m). At E and W the fosse is abutted by an E-W field boundary. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• LI009-004 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Flat marshy area, on N bank of Glashanagark River. No visible surface trace of holy well. According to Ó Danachair (1955, 215) 'famous for the cure for sore eyes … rounds are still made, but not often … rags, coins and small religious objects left as offerings'. The following folklore was recorded from Ballyhahill Glin National School about Saint Colm Og's well; 'The well in Loughill is called Saint Colm Og's well. This well is down in a glen but long ago it was up in a high field and women used to be washing clothes in it and it removed down into the glen. People pay 'rounds' there around Easter. They leave a cup or a mug or a piece of cloth after them. This well is near the graveyard. The prayers said are seven "our fathers" and seven "hail Marys" and seven "glorys" for seven times. They say one our father and three "hail Marys" in honour of the Saint' (The Schools’ Collection, Volume 0482, Page 154; accessible online at www.duchas.ie/en/cbes/4921940/5053407) See attached photos taken in 1954 by Caoimhín Ó Danachair, courtesy of and © National Folklore Collection, UCD.

• LI009-005001 Church
  Description

  In NE quadrant of graveyard (LI009-005002-). Only E gable (int. L 4.4m) and short returns of S (int. L 5.75m) and N (int. L 2.2m) walls now stand; these have recently been re-pointed with concrete and partially rebuilt. Featureless opening in centre of E gable probably position of original window; no other indication of door or window opes. A low wall has recently been built c. 3.2m out from E and N walls, and space between both walls filled with rubble stone. Church described in 1840 as having 'all its features destroyed' but consisted of nave and chancel but missing W end of nave and chancel arch (OSL vol. 1, 160-1). Formerly parish church of Loghill; the church here was destroyed in 1302 (Westropp 1904-5, 397), so it is likely that surviving structure is 15th/16th century in date. Church ruins described in 1840 as following; 'It was divided into nave and choir but both are nearly destroyed, only fragments of the east and middle gables, and 13 ft. [3.96m] of the south wall of the nave remaining. The length of the nave cannot be ascertained but its breadth was 15 feet [4.57m] the choir arch is all destroyed. The choir is 7 ft. 10 in. [2.38m] from west to east and 9 ft. 8 in. [2.94m] from north to south, but no window or fragment of one is observable on it. The fragment remaining of the south wall is 8 feet [2.43m] high and 3 feet [0.91m] thick and built of large long stones cemented with lime and sand mortar. About 100 yards to the north of this church there is a holy well called St. Colmog's well which is still venerated for the cure of sore eyes' (OSL Vol. 1, 160-1). Described in 1906 as following; '(Leamh choill elm wood) now Loughill. This is the remains of a primitive Irish church, divided into nave and choir, and was built of large long stones with lime and sand mortar. About 100 yards to the north of the church is a well dedicated to St. Colmog. The parish of Loughill was one of the bishop's manors' (Begley 1906, 110). Westropp recorded the following details about Loghill Church; 'Lemchaell, 1201; quit claim of John de Penris to Laukyll, 1274 (B.B.L., xlvi); Boger Waspayl granted to John Maltravers the manors of Radghel and Kilcoleman, and Lochkyl, 1280 (Feet of Fines, Ed. L, No. 97, C.S.P.I., vol. ii., 1778). Lauwhull church destroyed in war, 1302; Leamkaill, 1336 and 1418; Loughill, 1615 a; Laughill, 1657 (D.S.(B.) 14). George Crofts grants Loghill to Mountiford Westropp, 1670 (Atkins Davis MSS., Ulster's Office, i., p. 108). The name means 'elm wood,' or perhaps 'marshmallow place' (see Joyce, "Irish Names," ii., p. 32). Fabric - An early church on the brink of a valley. Choir, 7 feet 10 inches [2.4m] by 9 feet 8 inches [2.95m]. Nave, 15 feet [4.57m] wide. Only fragments of east end, choir, arch, and south wall remain; the latter 8 feet [2.43m] by 3 feet [0.91m], of large stones. St. Colman's Well [LI009-004----] to the north is good for sore eyes' (Westropp 1904-5, 397). See attached Down Survey Barony map of Connello showing church ruins (Hib. Reg.).

• LI009-005002 Graveyard
  Description

  In farmland, on N-facing slope overlooking Glashanagard River. Roughly-oval area (c. 45m N-S; c. 50m E-W) enclosed by low stone wall, with gateway on E side. Surface of graveyard uneven and sloping down steeply on N side following natural gradient. Headstones date to 19th and 20th centuries, and are concentrated to W and S of ruin of parish church of Loghill (LI009-005001-) which is located NE-of-centre.

• LI009-014 Water mill - unclassified
  Description

  On the E bank of the White River, in woodland. Annotated 'Old Mills' on the 1840 ed. OS 6-inch map where three rectangular-shaped structures are depicted standing beside a water channel cut into the White river. The designation 'Old Mills' on the 1840 map suggests that this may be a mill site of pre-1700 date and may have been a mill site associated with a possible settlement site (LI009-015----) depicted at this location on the Down Survey Barony map of Connello (Hib. Reg.). Compiled by: Alison McQueen, Vera Rahilly and Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 3 July 2020

• LI009-016 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  The castle of Loghill was 'wasted' in 1302 war, but castle of that name existed in late16th/early 17th century (Westropp 1906-7, 240). Mid-17th century Down Survey map shows castle on E side of Loghill inlet, approximately in position of Loghill House. According to Lewis (1837, ) castle was 'taken down by the late Mr Hewson, who built a garden wall with the material'; Hewson lived in Ouvane Cottage, later Loghill House. This house and its walled garden have recently been demolished. Only trace of any structure associated with house is short stretch of walling (L c. 5m; H 2m; Wth 0.5m) along shoreline; this unlikely to be associated with castle.
