• MA088-063001 Religious house - unclassified
  Description

  In the N half of a graveyard (MA088-063001-), 3m NE of a round tower (MA088-063003-). This medieval church is a National Monument in state ownership (No. 96). It is indicated on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps as ‘Abbey (in Ruins)’.  Tírechán, who compiled his biography of St Patrick in the 7th century, claims that St. Patrick founded the first church in Aghagower in the 5th century, and appointed St. Senach as bishop (Gwynne and Hadcock 1970, 28). The location is strategic, mid-way along an ancient routeway, which in the medieval period evolved into the Togher Patrick (MA088-062----), an important pilgrimage route between Ballintober Abbey (MA089-058001-) and Croagh Patrick (MA087-044001-). Aghagower became a principal stopping point on the route, and this greatly aided the monastery in becoming one of the preeminent ecclesiastical centres in Mayo. It was clearly flourishing in late 11th or 12th century when it had the resources to construct the round tower. One of the earliest mentions of Aghaower is in the Annals of the Four Masters, which records that in 1094 the ‘airchinneach [erenagh or church official] of Achadh-fabhair was killed by the men of Ceara.’ (O’Donovan 1848-51). In the Annals of Connaught the death is recorded on 15th December 1233 of Donn Cathaig, ‘airchinnech’ of Aghagower, who is eulogised as ‘a man reverenced by the clergy and laity for his qualities of mind and body; the most generous bestower of cattle and food in his age; the protector of the wretched and the prosperous; an honour to his land and country; the reconciler of all disputes between his own household and the public in general.’ A few years later in 1247 ‘Benedictus Mag Oirechtaig, erenagh of Aghagower, was treacherously slain at the festival of the Cross, the third day of Summer’, and in 1248 John d’Exeter marched through Aghagower during his campaign to subdue a revolt among the Gaelic clans in SW Mayo (Freeman, A.M. 1944). These references, though scanty, serve to illustrate how deeply interwoven the monastery was into the political and social life of the era. By the early 13th century Aghagower was one of the episcopal manors of the Archbishop of Tuam, and in the Taxation of 1306 it is taxed at the high value of £4. The ruined church that now stand in the graveyard is late medieval in date, but incorporates a number of earlier features, which suggest that it may be built on or close to the site of an earlier church. It consists of a rectangular building (int. dim. 17.1m E−W; 7.9m N−S) constructed of mortared limestone, with a few sandstone blocks. The E gable, the S wall and the E part of the N wall stand more or less to their full original height; the W end of the N wall and the W gable have collapsed and only the lower courses survive. Two rooms, a sacristy at S and a possible tomb or shrine at N, are attached to the exterior of the E gable, flanking the central E window. The North wall (H 3.9m; T c. 0.75m) of the church is notable for the inclusion of sandstone flags as well as the limestone blocks, which are used exclusively in the other three walls. The S wall (H 4m; T 0.8-0.9m) features a doorway and two windows. The plain but neatly constructed doorway (H 2m; Wth 1.35m) is located towards the W end of the wall. It has a round-headed arch of sandstone blocks, topped on the external face with simple round-arched hollow-chamfered hood. It is Romanesque in style, suggesting a date in the late 12th/early 13th century. To E of the door, roughly mid-way along the S wall, is an inwardly-splayed window, which has a cusped head, now missing its uppermost stone. On the exterior, the punch-dressed, chamfered jamb stones have decorated spandrels, framed at top by a square hood moulding. Tucked into the lower E angle of the hood moulding is a small carved human head with simply delineated facial features and a thin raised horizontal band across the forehead, which may represent a form of headgear. At the E end of the wall is a narrow ogee-headed window, which features glazing bar holes.  The W gable survives to a height of c. 1.35m. Traces of a doorway (Wth 0.9m) are visible towards its N end, which probably predates the doorway in the S wall and may be a remnant of an earlier church, replaced by the current building. The external face of this wall is concealed by the considerable build-up of ground level which has taken place in the graveyard over centuries.  The E gable has a tall central window (Wth 1.7m; H c. 4.8m) featuring a trio of round-headed lancets with simple switch-line tracery above, and a pointed-arched external hood moulding. A small human head is carved on the northernmost mullion. The architectural style suggests a 15th-century date for this window. At the S end of the E gable there is a pointed arched doorway (H 1.48m; Wth 0.7m), with punch-dressed stones in the arch and jambs. It gives access to the sacristy, a rectangular room (int. dims. 2.9m N−S; 1.9m E−W) attached to the external face of the E gable, with its S wall in line with the S wall of the main body of the church. The N and S wall of the sacristy survive to almost full height at their W end, where they abut the E gable of the church, and a rebate to carry the roof is visible at the top of the walls. There is small, square window towards the W end of the S wall. The E wall is in poor condition, and contains the lower portion of a centrally set window, now blocked externally by a graveslab. Three rectangular aumbrys or recesses are built into the interior wall faces, one at the E end and one at the W end of the S wall, and one at the E end of the N wall.  Another rectangular, stone-built and stone-roofed room (ext. dims. 2.7m N−S; 4m E−W) is attached to the N end of the E gable of the church, with its N wall in line with the N wall of the church. Access is from within the main body of the church through a small rectangular opening (Wth 0.5m; H 0.9m) at a height of 1.1m above interior ground level. The opening, which is framed by punch-dressed jambs, is largely blocked up, but a gap at top affords a view into the chamber, revealing a pointed arched vault. Traces of mortar with wicker impressions are visible. This enigmatic room may have been a tomb or alternatively a shrine for relics, which pilgrims could view (Corlett 2001, 117).  The interior of the church now has a gravel surface in which are set several graveslabs of 18th- and 19th-century date. A modern rectangular grave structure abuts the E end of the exterior face of the S wall of the church. A penitential station (MA088-063004-), named ‘Labba Patrick’ is located 30m to S in the SE corner of the graveyard. Two holy wells flank the crossroads to NW of the graveyard, one (MA088-063005-) is immediately outside the graveyard wall at NW, and the other (MA088-063006-) 7m NNW of the graveyard. Another medieval church (MA088-064----), named ‘Templenafiacal’, is located 240m to NE. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 11 December 2020

• MA088-063002 Graveyard
  Description

  This graveyard is located in the centre of Aghagower village, at a junction of several roads, which lie directly outside the graveyard walls on the W, N and E sides. The graveyard consist of a subrectangular area (c. 65m N−S; c. 55m E−W) enclosed by a stone-built wall (Wth 0.45m; int. H 0.4-0.8m; ext. H 1.55m) of relatively recent date. It is bordered at S by the present-day Roman Catholic church. Remains dating to the medieval period, which are enclosed within the graveyard, include a round tower (MA088-063003-), a church (MA088-063001-) and a bullaun stone (MA088-063010-). A penitential station (MA088-063004-), known as ‘Labba Patrick’ or Patrick’s Bed, is located at the SE end of the graveyard and was the traditional starting point of a ‘pattern’ or devotional round of prayers, which also visited two holy wells, one (MA088-063005-) located immediately outside the graveyard wall at NW, and the other (MA088-063006-) 7m NNW of the graveyard. The interior ground level of the graveyard is considerably higher than exterior ground level, indicating a build-up of ground level over time. There is a high density of grave plots, the majority marked by inscribed headstones of 19th-and 20th-century date, but interspersed amongst them are simple uninscribed stone gravemarkers.

• MA088-063003 Round tower
  Description

  In the village of Aghagower, located in the centre of a graveyard (MA088-063002-), 3m to SW of a medieval church (MA088-063001-). This round tower is a National Monument in state ownership (no. 96). It is one of the few visible remains of an early medieval monastery, which traced its roots back to a church said to have been consecrated at Aghagower in the 5th century by St. Patrick. The success of the monastery can at least partly be attributed to its location mid-way along the Togher Patrick (MA088-062----), an important medieval pilgrimage route to Croagh Patrick (MA087-044001-). The round tower, which was probably built in the late 11th or 12th century, is an expression of the monastery’s prestige and importance, and would have been one of the most impressive landmarks encountered by pilgrims as they walked the route (Corlett 2014, 52) The remains consists of a circular tower (diam. c. 5m; current H c. 16m) of coursed, roughly dressed mortared stones; it no longer stands to its full height and is missing its conical corbelled roof. The original doorway (Wth 0.7m; H 1.52m), which has a plain round arch formed by three stones, is at E at first floor level, 2.18m above exterior ground level; the stones are spalled and shattered, possibly as a result of fire. A flat-headed doorway (Wth 0.76m; H 1.6m) at ground floor level on the NW side is a late insert. Five rings of stone corbels protrude at evenly spaced intervals from the internal wall face; these supported wooden floors, and indicate that there were at least five storeys above the ground floor. Three small square-headed windows can be seen at different floor levels, at SSW (now blocked), at WSW and at S. A change in the masonry towards the top of the tower on the N side marks the location of a large breach which was repaired in 1969 by the OPW. The tower leans slightly to the N. (Barrow 1979, 154-5). The OS Letters record that in 1838 the round tower was ‘much destroyed, as tradition says by lightening, which blew off the top of it to Teevnish, a distance of about half a mile! where it was to be seen firmly stuck together until a few years ago when the stones were taken away and burned into lime’ (O’Flanagan 1927, 455-6 (224)).  The small conical capstone, which once formed the apex of the roof, is now to be found set in concrete on a mortared stone pedestal on the N side of the modern Roman Catholic church to S of the round tower. Fashioned from a single block of stone (H 0.4m; diam. of base c 0.43-0.45m; diam. top 0.13m), it has a roughly oval mortise hole (5.5cm by 4 cm; D 7cm) at top which probably originally held a stone or timber cross.

• MA088-063004 Penitential station
  Description

  Located in the SE part of a graveyard (MA088-063002-). This penitential station is named ‘Labba Patrick’ [Patrick’s bed] on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. The stone paving and walling now visible were constructed in the modern era. The original form of the monument is uncertain; it appears to have encompassed a roughly rectangular area (3.4m N−S; 2.85m E−W) containing stones or bedrock, traditionally thought to have been the resting place of St. Patrick. It was the first station in the traditional ‘pattern’, a ritual of prayers and devotions, which was undertaken at Aghagower. In the 1838 OS Letters, John O’Donovan recorded that ‘at the base of an aged ash tree is Leaba Phatraig or the Bed of Saint Patrick, at which pilgrims commence the Station of Aghagower. I saw an old woman pray at this sacred spot, and I can never forget the enthusiastic glow of devotion to which her eyes gave expression…’ (O’ Flanagan, 457 (225)).

• MA088-063005 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On the E side of a crossroad in Aghagower village, 7m NW of a graveyard (MA088-063002-), which encloses a church (MA088-063001-) and round tower (MA088-063003-). This holy well is named ‘Dabhach Patrick’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and ‘Dawach Patrick’ on the1929 edition. The name translates as Patrick’s vat or bath. It is one of two holy wells at Aghagower; the other (MA088-065006-), named ‘Tobernandeochaun’ is located 7.5m to SSW. Both wells were stations or stopping points on the traditional ritual ‘pattern’ undertaken by pilgrims at Aghagower. It is interesting to note that the name Aghagower is derived from ‘Achaidh fobhair’ meaning 'field of the spring'. The name appears to be of great antiquity, already in use in the mid-late 7th century when it was mentioned by Tírechán in his Life of Patrick. Corlett (1914, 81) has suggested that the importance of the springs or wells at Aghagower had its roots in pre-Christian times, and this may be the reason why a church was established at this location. The structural remains now evident date to modern era. The well consists of a roughly D-shaped sunken area (1.56m N−S; 1.45m E−W) defined on the straight side by at a mortared stone wall and on the curving side a series of stone steps, which lead down to the base of the well. The well is located within a small walled enclosure, which was built in the late 20th century. There is a sheela-na-gig (MA088-063009-) in the internal wall face on the E side of the enclosure.

• MA088-063006 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Located on the S side of a crossroad in Aghagower village, immediately outside the wall of a graveyard (MA088-063002-), which encloses a medieval church (MA088-063001-) and round tower (MA088-063003-). The graveyard wall kinks around the well. The well is named ‘Tobernandeochaun’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. On the 1929 edition it is annotated as ‘Site of’, indicating that it was no longer extant or in use by that date. The current structure is a modern reconstruction, and consists of a roughly square sunken area (1m by 1m; D 1m) defined by mortared stone walls, with steps at N leading down to the base of the well. This well and an adjacent holy well (MA088-063005-) named ‘Dabhach Patrick’ were visited as part of the traditional ‘pattern’ or ritual round of devotions undertaken by pilgrims at Aghagower. John O’Donovan described this well in the 1838 OS Letters as ‘an enclosure called Tobar na nDeochaun, i.e. the well of the drinks, so called because the pilgrims drank of it when performing the Turas, but at present it contains no water.’ (O’Flanagan, 457 (225)).

• MA088-063007 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  In Aghagower village, adjacent to a graveyard (MA088-063002-) which encloses a medieval church (MA088-063001-) and round tower (MA088-063003-). The medieval monastery of Aghagower traced its foundations to a church said to have been established here in the 5th century by Patrick (Gwynne and Hadcock 1970, 28). However no structural remains survive from this period. This record relates to a ditch which may have bounded all or part of the precincts of the early medieval monastery. The ditch was discovered in 2006 during archaeological monitoring of the installation of sewage works (Ministerial consent C030) (Zajac 2006). The works trench (Wth 2m) was opened along the W edge of the modern road, which lies parallel and immediately outside the graveyard wall on the NE and E side of the graveyard. Two separate, short sections of the enclosure ditch (Wth 2-3.5m; D c. 0.8-1m) were uncovered in the trench, c. 30m apart, one at the NE angle of the graveyard (ITM 503444 780411) and one c. mid-way along the E side of the graveyard wall (ITM 503438 708378). The ditch fill consisted of a dense, dark-brown soil with inclusions of animal bone, charcoal and wood fragments (hazel, blackthorn and ash). A piece of iron slag was also recovered. The small assemblage of animal bones (31 fragments) included bones from cattle, sheep/goat and pigs, consisting mainly of meat-poor elements, suggesting that they are remains of butchery and slaughter waste. One cattle horn-core fragment had been cut off at the base from the skull, probably to extract and utilize the horn sheath. Radiocarbon analysis of a sample of animal bone returned an early medieval date: 580-661 AD (2 Sigma, 95%) (pers. comm. S. Zajac 2021) The excavation was necessarily limited and the full extent of the ditch/ecclesiastical enclosure remains unknown, nevertheless, the results offers a glimpse of hitherto hidden aspects of this important medieval ecclesiastical site.

• MA088-063009 Sheela-na-gig
  Description

  Built into the modern mortared stone wall, which encloses a holy well (MA088-063005-) named 'Dawach Patrick' on the 1929 OS 6-inch map. The well is located a few meters to NW of a graveyard (MA088-063002-) which encloses a medieval church (MA088-063001-) and a round tower (MA088-063003-) associated with the early medieval monastery of Aghagower. A stone slab (L 0.42m; H 0.16m) on one face of which is a carving of a naked female figure (H 0.15m; Wth 0.1m). The figure was carved in false relief by cutting away a square background area (0.15m by 0.15m) in the centre of the slab. The roughly circular head (H 0.006m; Wth 0.005m) is disproportionately large, with the eyes, nose and mouth simply outlined. The breasts are faintly outlined on the torso. The elbows are bent with the arms curving inwards and the hands reaching into an indentation which represents the genitalia. The legs are broadly splayed, with the knees slightly bent. Described by Freitag (2004, 122) as a 'small framed figure faces the road and is difficult to make out. Large round head, no breasts, arms akimbo, vulva a small slit, legs widely splayed'. The sheela-na-gig was found in Aghagower but its original location is unknown. It was placed in its current location in the early 2000's.
