## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- MA022-043001: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-043001-. Located on elevated ground, within a graveyard (MA022-043002-). This church is depicted on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps as a rectangular building (7-8m ENE-WSW; 5-6m NW-SE); it is annotated ‘site of Church’ on the 1838 map and ‘Church (in Ruins)’ on the 1929 edition. The outline of the church can no longer be traced. A remnant of a masonry wall (L 5-6m; H 2m; T c. 0.6-0.7m), on a ENE–WSW axis, may be a fragment of the church, possibly part of the S wall. A thick covering of ivy makes it difficult to examine, but it appears to be constructed of rectangular or square stone blocks, of roughly equal size. A rectangular grave plot (9m N-S; 5.4m E-W) outlined by a low mortared stone wall (Wth 0.45m; H 0.4m) is appended to the N side of the possible church wall, and encloses a 19th-century table tomb. Attached images: MA022-043001-_01.JPG Ivy covered wall, possibly part of church, with 19th century grave plot in front, viewed from N. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 1 May 2019
- MA022-043002: Graveyard, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-043002-. Located on low N-S ridge, in an area of undulating pasture. This graveyard is named ‘Crosspatrick Grave yd.’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map where it is shown as a roughly square enclosure (c. 30-35m max dim.) with a church (MA022-043001-) slightly to N of centre. The modern extent of the graveyard indicates that it has been extended since that date, principally to N and S, so that it now encloses an elongated sub-rectangular area (c. 130m N–S; 40-50m E–W) with the church located slightly to S of centre. It is enclosed by a mortared stone wall of relatively recent date, bordered at S and W by roads. Access is via a wrought iron gate in the W wall, with a stile-type arrangement of stone steps set in the wall immediately to S of the gate. The graveyard utilises a low narrow ridge or elevation, which extends N–S and has a gentle slope down on the E side and a steeper slope on the W side. The oldest part of the graveyard encompasses a narrow central spine of elevated ground (c. 25m N-S; 12m E-W). This is where the ruined church is located, and where the greatest concentration of graves is to be found. The ground surface here is very uneven, there are surface clusters of loose stones, low stones protruding from the ground, and several hawthorn trees and dense clumps of overgrowth. Headstones dating to the19th century predominate in the S half of the graveyard. They are interspersed with many small, low uninscribed stone grave markers, some in N-S rows; two are unusual in form, consisting of broad, thin rectangular slabs (Wth 0.8-0.9m; T 0.06-0.08m; H 0.45-0.65m), each with a small central perforation (diam. 4-5 cm). In the SW quadrant, there is another unusual gravemarker, consisting of a stone statue, a self-portrait carved by the sculptor Thomas Mulloy, which stands on an elaborately carved plinth, dated 1880. In the N half of the graveyard 20th century headstones and grave plots predominate. There are a cross-inscribed stone (MA022-044001-), known as St. Patrick’s cross, and an inscribed stone (MAA022-044002-) 30m to SSE, and a holy well (MA022-042001-) 180m to NW. Two raths (MA022-047----; MA 022-041001-) are located nearby, 240m to E and 200m to NW respectively, and there is a ringbarrow (MA022-045----) 100m to SE.

- MA022-044001: Cross-inscribed stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-044001-. Located in a pasture field, bordered to N by a minor road; there is a church (MA022-043001-) and graveyard (MA022-043002-) c. 30m to N on the opposite side of the road. This cross-inscribed stone is named ‘St. Patrick’s Cross’ on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a roughly rectangular slab (0.43m x 0.37m; T 0.009m) with rounded corners, on one surface of which is the incised outline of a cross. A shallow groove (Wth c. 2-2.5cm) forms the vertical and horizontal arms of the cross, which are roughly equal in length and extend almost the full width and height of the slab. The terminal of each arm expands slightly into a roughly circular hollow (diam. 3.5-4cm). The cross is now partly eroded and difficult to discern, although the incised grooves can still be felt/traced with one's finger. The slab lies horizontally on the ground surface, partly embedded in the sod. Adjacent to it at the W there is an inscribed stone (MA022-044002-). A remnant of an old field bank lies immediately to E of the two stones. There is a ringbarrow (MA022-045----) in the same field 70m to SE. Attached images: MA022-044001-_01.JPG Ranging rod lies on low bank immediately to E (at left) of the cross-inscribed stone. An inscribed stone (MA022-044002-) lies immediately to W (at right).

- MA022-044002: Inscribed stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-044002-. Located in a pasture field, bordered to N by a road. There a church (MA022-043001-) and graveyard (MA022-043002-) c. 30m to N on the opposite side of the road. A roughly rectangular sandstone slab (L 1.02m; T 0.12m) with rounded corners. The slab is broader (Wth 0.45m) at one end than the other (Wth 0.32). A shallow oval depression (c. 0.44m; 0. 36m) occupies the full width of the broadest half of the stone, so that three sides of the depression are defined by the outer edges of the stone; the fourth side of the depression appears to be defined on its outer edge by a shallow incised groove which cuts across the width of the stone. At the opposite, narrower end of the stone an L-shaped incision is deeply cut into the stone surface. The incision (Wth 0.015-0.02m; D 0.02m) begins at the very edge of the stone, more or less on the midline, extends 0.1m along the long axis and then turning at right angles for 0.07m; it is now marked by a growth of moss. The 1838 OS Letters record a T-shaped incised symbol beside the L-shaped incision, describing it as being smaller, shallower and more finely carved than the other symbol (O’Flanagan, 1927, 140-3 (74-6)); this is no longer visible. According to tradition, the oval indentation marks the location where St. Patrick sat, and the L-shaped incision is said to be the impression of St. Patrick’s pipe (ibid. 140 (74)). The slab lies horizontally on the ground surface, partly embedded in the sod. It long axis is currently aligned roughly NW-SE, with the broader end of the stone at SE. Immediately adjacent at E there is a cross-inscribed stone (MA022-044001-). A remnant of a field fence lies immediately to E of the two stones. There is a ringbarrow (MA022-045----) in the same field 70mm to E. Attached images: MA022-044002-_01.JPG Incised stone located adjacent to a cross-inscribed stone (MA022-044001-).

- MA022-045: Barrow - ring-barrow, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-045----. Located at the NW end of a NW–SE rise in rolling average pasture. Killala Bay is visible to NE, the Ox Mountains define the far horizon to E–SE, and Nephin Mountain looms to SSW. Slightly raised circular area (8m N–S; 8m E–W; H 0.35m) defined by a fosse (Wth 2.6m at N) with an external bank (Wth 2-2.4m; int. H 0.5-0.8m; ext. H 0.55-0.7m at SSE). The perimeter of the central platform is well defined SW–NE, but elsewhere it is degraded and indistinct, merging with the fosse, and giving the impression that the central platform is set off-centre to NW within the ring of the outer bank. The outer bank is fairly compact and well-defined. The overall diameter is 17m. There is a cross-inscribed stone (MA022-044001-) and an inscribed stone (MA022-044002-) in the same field 70m to NW.

- MA022-047: Ringfort - rath, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMA022-047----. In thicket of trees and overgrowth, located on a natural rise in an area of gently undulating, terrain. There is a farmstead immediately to S−SW. Raised circular area (c. 23.5m N–S) defined by remnants of an earthen bank. The bank (Wth 3.5-4m; int. H 0.6m; ext. H 1.3m) survives NW–NE and at SE–SW, but it is truncated at E by a field wall, and at SW-NW it has been partly dug away as a result of modern disturbance. At WSW the rath is abutted by remnants of a later, roughly square structure (max. dim. c. 6m), defined by a raised rim (Wth 1.5-2m; H 0.5m). The rath interior was difficult to examine due to dense blackthorn and brambles. There appears to be a slightly raised area (max. dim. c. 10m) off-centre to NW, from which the ground slopes gently to N and W. Sycamore, ash and blackthorn ring the perimeter.
