Recorded monuments

• LI014-081001 Burial ground
  Description

  Situated immediately NE of a road, an area of rough grass SE of the front garden of a newly-built house, on a gentle NW-facing slope with good views to W, N and E. Indicated on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as a sub-oval area (c. 30m E-W; 15m N-S) immediately N of a road. The monument is heavily obscured by grassy vegetation but is evident as a sub-oval area (17m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 5.5m; H 1.3m). Referred to in the Ordnance Survey Letters as the site of an old church called Teampall Mhíchíl; 'the inhabitants of the place say there was a grave yard here formerly; human bones and old coffins were found in 1819 whilst the ground was dug up when the field was under cultivation' (OSL vol. 2, p. 412). In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books recorded the following; 'The ruins of this church are in a green field, planted with fir trees. it is about 60 [20m] by 30 [10m] feet, is level with the ground, and is covered with grass. It is said to have been an old Friary. The inhabitants also say that is was once surrounded by a spacious graveyard, and this seems confirmed by the discovery of great antiquities of human bones and the remains of coffins in 1819, while the field was being cultivated' (OSNB). Archaeological monitoring under licence No. 02E1588 by Brian Hodkinson of the groundworks for a private house development in the vicinity of a church and enclosure at Templemichael, Caherconlish, revealed no features or deposits of archaeological significance.

• LI014-081002 Church
  Description

  Temple Michael Church located to the east of Caherconlish was described in the Urban Survey of Limerick (Bradley et. al. 1989, 92) as following; 'The site of this church is marked on the O.S. map to the east of the village but nothing survives there except a grassy knoll c.22m east-west by 20m north-south and c.2m high with wall footings in no coherent pattern. It is said that some of Ginkel’s soldiers were buried here and a stone decorated with an animal is recorded from the site (Lynch 1896, 350)'. In 1840 the Ordnance Survey Name Books recorded the following; 'The ruins of this church are in a green field, planted with fir trees. it is about 60 [20m] by 30 [10m] feet, is level with the ground, and is covered with grass. It is said to have been an old Friary. The inhabitants also say that is was once surrounded by a spacious graveyard, and this seems confirmed by the discovery of great antiquities of human bones and the remains of coffins in 1819, while the field was being cultivated' (OSNB). Westropp (1904-5, 441) recorded the following details about Templemichael; 'Temple Mighill, in Clanwilliam, granted to John Friend, Oct., 1666 (Act Sett.). Site - Foundations, 60 feet by 30 feet ; in a burial-ground'. Situated immediately NE of a road, an area of rough grass SE of the front garden of a newly-built house, on a gentle NW-facing slope with good views to W, N and E. Indicated on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as a sub-oval area (c. 30m E-W; 15m N-S) immediately N of a road. The monument is heavily obscured by grassy vegetation but is evident as a sub-oval area (17m E-W) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 5.5m; H 1.3m).

• LI014-082 Country house
  Description

  Boskill House on the 1840 OS map was converted into a stable building associated with the later 19th century house also known as Boskill House. The Ordnance Survey suggested that the original Boskill House was built in the 17th century where King William III stated in 1690. The building was described as following; ‘This house which is now a thatched house and converted to that of a stable was built so early as the time of King William [1690] who lived in it for a fortnight. His army fortified it with large trenches, the last of which was only levelled about 1833. It was first built by, and for the seat of, the family of the Friends, who are still the proprietors, and have it let to the Revd. W. Power, P.P.’ (OSNB Caherconlish Parish, 303). Extensive cropmarks to the S and W of Boskill House which are visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken 2011-2013 may represent the remains of these fortifications described by the Ordnance Survey or could be remains of a designed landscaped belonging to Boskill House demesne.
