Recorded monuments

• MA039-053001 Church
  Description

  In the NW quadrant of a graveyard (MA039-053002). When inspected in 1996 this church was recorded as follows: 'Greatly ruined rectangular, medieval parish church (15-18m E–W; c. 8.6m N–S), with walls built of roughly coursed, large irregular blocks of stone, with smaller stones infilling the interstices. Only central section of the S wall (L 13.2m; H 3m; T c. 1m) remains relatively intact, with a doorway roughly midway along its length. The doorway (Wth 1.5m) retains the springing of an arch in each jamb at a height of 1.6m above current ground level, above which there is a ragged gap in the wall. The external face of the S wall is crumbling, the E end of the wall has collapsed, and a later vaulted burial chamber (c. 4.6m N–S; 4m E–W; H 1m), now grass-covered, is built against the external face towards the W end of the wall. A portion (L 3.8m; H 3.7m; T 0.95m) of the E gable, at its N end, is standing, but the inner wall face is in poor condition; the remainder of the wall is reduced to wall footings. The N wall is also reduced to low grass-covered remnants (max. H 1m), with a rectangular grave plot dating to the modern era overlying its W end. The W wall does not survive, and may lie under the line of the W wall of the graveyard.' Since then, the church has been the subjected to an unauthorized reconstruction. The walls have been rebuilt and repointed, including the upper sections of the gables. The doorway in the S wall has been rebuilt with a pointed arch, and a similar doorway has been inserted into the S end of the E gable. Two pointed arched windows have been built into the N wall. A Penal-era stone cross (MA039-053003-) is on display within the church. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 February 2020

• MA039-053002 Graveyard
  Description

  This graveyard is indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a rectangular walled area (c. 50m N–S; c. 40m E–W) accessed by a short laneway at N, and with a church (MA039-053001-) ‘in ruins’ in the NW quadrant. By the time of the 1930 edition it had changed little, but since then has been extended greatly to N and E, resulting in the removal of the old boundary walls on those sides. Mortared stone walls of uncoarsed rubble remain at W and S. Numerous low, upright uninscribed stone gravemarkers protrude from the uneven, grass-cover surface in the old part of the graveyard. Some consist of small, roughly rectangular slabs, but most are simple, rough field stones. They are arranged in roughly N-S rows, with the gravemarkers sometimes very close-set or contiguous. Interspersed between these simple gravemarkers, are formal, inscribed headstones, graveslabs and table tombs, dating to the 18th- and 19th-centuries, with a few 20th-century graves. A carved stone cross (MA039-053003-), found within the graveyard 25m SE of the church, is now located within the church. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 February 2020

• MA039-053003 Cross
  Description

  In a church (MA039-053001-). This carved stone cross was first recorded in the 1838 OS Letters by O’Donovan, who noted that it stood ‘unfixed against a small piece of wall to the south east of the old church’ (O’Flanagan 1927, 26 (11)). Its whereabouts in the graveyard were later lost. It was rediscovered in 2000, c. 25m SE of the church, set roughly upright with approximately a third of the shaft buried in the ground. It was subsequently installed in a glass-fronted display case within the ruined church. The cross is carved from a substantial slab of stone to create a long shaft (L. 0.69; Wth. 0.16m; T. 010m) at base of which is a short tang (D. 0.06m), suggesting that it originally had a supportive base. The arms of the cross are relatively short (c. 0.40m in total extent) and are very close to the top of the shaft. On one face of the shaft the figure of the crucified Christ is carved in relief in a simple or ‘primitive’ style. The head, set at a slight angle to the body, is oval with the outline of eyes, nose and mouth simply but clearly depicted. A stylised crown of thorns, in the form of a series of small chevrons, radiates from the top of the head. The body is accurately outlined, with subtle shaping to indicate elbows, knees and ribcage. The faint outline of a loincloth is also apparent. The hands and feet are depicted in detail. A round-headed nail pierces the palm of each hand, and a single nail the overlapping feet. Beneath the feet is the faint outline of slightly raised rectangle. At the top of the cross, an INRI inscription, which was clearly legible in 1838 (ibid.), is now almost entirely eroded. On the opposite face of the cross, the “Instruments of the Crucifixion” are depicted at the intersection of the arms and shaft: A claw hammer, a pliers or vice and a whip are carved in low false relief; all show evidence of weathering. There is an oblique surface fracture line on the shaft, immediately beneath the arms, and it appears that, below this point, a surface layer of the stone has flaked off. The style of the carving suggests that the cross dates to the Penal Era/18th century. Compiled by: Jane O'Shaughnessy Date of upload: 21 February 2020
