Recorded monuments

• MA091-023001 Church
  Description

  In pasture, located within a graveyard (MA091-023003-), towards the base of a SW–facing slope. At the base of the slope the ground levels out to an expanse of damp pasture, with a holy well (MA091-023002) located 20m to WNW. This medieval parish church dedicated to St. Colman gave its name to the townland, and is indicated at 'Killcollman' on the 1656-58 Down Survey barony map. The ruins of the church stand on level ground in the SE quadrant of the graveyard. It is a rectangular building (c. 7.5m NNE–SSW; c. 18m WNW–ESE) with walls constructed of roughly coursed limestone with a rubble core. The W gable (T 1.34m) stands to almost its full original height but the N and S ends of the wall are broken and crumbling. The mid-section of the N wall survives to a height of 3m but elsewhere along its length is reduced to heaps of loose stone. Heaps of stones also define the line of the E gable, a short section of which remains intact at its junction with the N wall. The S wall can be traced only as a low sod-covered stony rise, overlain or abutted by several graves. The interior of the church is strewn with loose stones, and is largely obscured by overgrowth. A few fragments of worked/cut stone, one of which appears to be a fragment of a window or door surround, were noted in a moss-covered pile of loose rubble close to the N wall.

• MA091-023002 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In lowlying damp pasture, located 20m to WNW of a graveyard (MA091-023003-) within which is a ruined church (MA091-023001-). The well is not named on the 1838 and 1920 OS 6-inch maps but the 1838 OS Letters 1838 records that it was 'called the Well of Kilcolman. At it stations are performed on Good Fridays.' (O’Flanagan 1927, 448 (186)). The well consisted of a natural spring and is no longer in use as a holy well. A modern pump-house now stands on the site, and a field drain channels the water to SW to intersect with other field ditches. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 February 2022

• MA091-023003 Graveyard
  Description

  In pasture, located towards the base of a SW-facing slope. At the base of the slope the ground levels out to an expanse of damp pasture, where a holy well (MA091-023002-) located 20m to WNW. The graveyard encompasses a square area (53m NE–SW; 54m NW–SE) and is enclosed by a wall (Wth 0.6m; 1.2m) of roughly coursed limestone, bordered on the NE side by a road. The interior slopes markedly from NE down to SW, but levels out at the S–SE where the ruins of a medieval church (MA091-023001-) are located. The headstones are mainly of the ‘Celtic cross’ type and predominately date to the second half of the 19th century/early 20th century. Some horizontal grave slabs also occur. The inscriptions/dates on many gravestones are obscured by lichen. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 February 2022

• MA091-024 Enclosure
  Description

  In pasture, on rising ground. A circular enclosure is marked at roughly this location on an 1811 estate map (NLI Ms. 2713); it is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. There is no visible trace at ground level. Compiled by: Jane O’Shaughnessy Date of upload: 9 February 2022
