- KE028-045 Church
Description
Site of medieval parish church of Cuylogoich (Cúil-Ó-dTaidhg/Ballynahaglish/Baile na hEaglaise) in the diocese of Ardfert, barony of Trughanacmy. The present parish of Ballynahaglish was known in the medieval period as the parish of Cúil-Ó-dTaidhg. In 1302 the papal taxation of the Deanery of Offeria in the diocese of Ardfert listed the church of 'Scothfig' (corrupted form of Cúil-Ó-dTaidhg) which was then valued annually at 13s. 4d. with the tithe valued at 16d.(Cal. doc. Ire. vol. 5, 295; O'Connell and Costello 1958, 18). According to an entry in the Cal. papal letters, xii. 582 an arrangement had developed by which the abbot of O'Dorney monastery (Abbeydorney Monastery KE021-053001-) 'farmed' the revenues of Duagh (KE017-005) and Cúil-Ó-dTaidhg on behalf of the rector appropriate in Connall abbey (KD023-016----), Co. Kildare who used to receive from the two parishes an annual income of one mark sterling (O'Connell and Costelloe 1958, 18). In 1466 a papal letter sent to 'The abbot of the monastery of the Apostles Peter and Paul, Ratuaych [Ratoo KE009-056004-], in the diocese of Ardfert' concerning the petition of Edmund, abbot of the Cistercian monastery of St.Mary, O'Dorney (de Kyrieleyson) regarding the two rectories of Cuylogoich [Cúil-Ó-dTaidhg] and Dubhact [Duagh] which were united to the Augustinian monastery of St. Mary, Connayl, Kildare (Cal. papal letters, 582-3). The petition stated that the tithes 'of which rectories have been wont to be granted by the abbot and convent of Connayl for a farm or yearly pension of one mark sterling, but are at present withdrawn to the said monastery on account of the non-payment of the said pension although they have been detained against the will and consent of the said abbot and convent by Maurice Fizmores [Fitzmaurice], clerk, of the said diocese of Ardfert; and that if the said fruits etc. were leased and assigned for life to the said abbot Edmund for such farm or pension, he would try to recover the said rectories and fruits etc. from the said Maurice, who is powerful, and would pay the said pension yearly to the abbot and convent of Connayl, and that this would be to the manifest advantage of both the said abbots and monasteries. The pope therefore hereby orders the above abbot to summon the said abbot and convent of Connayl and Maurice and others concerned, and if he find the foregoing to be true, to grant the said fruits etc. for life to abbot Edmund for a farm or yearly pension of one mark sterling, to be paid yearly to the abbot and convent of Connayl, removing therefrom any unlawful detainers'. In 1472 there is a reference to David Stack cleric of Ardfert and brother of Philip Stack, bishop of Ardfert who is associated with the prebend of Fenit and holder of the adjoining parish church of 'Cuylochohy' (middle Irish Cuilotaithig) (O'Connell and Costello 1958, 18-19). In 1479 the vicarage of this parish church was vacant as a result of the death of David Stack, along with Kilmoyley vicarage (KE014-089----) both were then granted to Philip Stack, Bishop of Ardfert (ibid., 28). In 1756 Charles Smith records in his chapter on the state of all the parishes: Ballinahaglish, vicarial, church in repair, Patron Sir Thomas Denny, knight. Proxy 5s (Smith 1756, 37). The site consists of the ruins of a possible 17th century church with 18th century tower at W end standing in the S quadrant of a graveyard (KE028-045001-). The church consists of a rectangular building with a tower on the W end. No surface remains visible of the medieval parish church of Cúil-Ó-dTaidhg. Described by Lewis (1837, 156) as; 'an ancient structure built in 1619, is situated on an eminence thence called Church-hill, a little to the east of Chapeltown: it was repaired by aid of a gift of £900 from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1820'. Church ruins described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as a; 'Detached three-bay double-height single-cell Board of First Fruits Church of Ireland church, built 1691, on a rectangular plan; single-bay three-stage tower to entrance (west) front on a square plan. "Improved", 1798, producing present composition. Closed, 1894. Dismantled, 1910. Now in ruins' (NIAH Reg. No. 2130280; www.buildingsofireland.ie).

- KE028-045001 Graveyard
Description
Graveyard surveyed in 2010 and described as follows; 'The graveyard at Churchill, like many graveyards, has an old medieval burial ground and a modern burial area opened in 1916. The old medieval burial ground also contains several very large overgrown and neglected tombs as well as the upstanding relict and completely ivy covered remains of a Protestant Church [KE028-045----]. There are two entrances into Church Hill Graveyard comprising a wide double gate entrance for vehicular traffic and a single gate for pedestrian access. The large 2m high double gates are set between two taller square capped piers of rubble limestone built to courses with modern forward ribbon cement pointing evident on the NW pier. The haunches on the capping of the SE pier is in need of repair and at least one of its stones is about to fall. The single wide pedestrian gate, suitable for non-able bodied pedestrians is situated circa 4m immediately to the NW. The pedestrian gate is set between two squat square rubble limestone piers with coarse rounded concrete capping and opens freely. Boundary walls around the old medieval section of the graveyard are constructed with rubble limestone built to courses and bedded in mortar and capped with ‘soldiers’. They appear to be in good condition where visible along the roadside or NE section. Otherwise the NE-SW and the SE-NW sections are covered in dense ivy and other growth. The boundary wall around the more modern burial ground section opened in 1916 is also constructed with rubble limestone with coarse concrete rounded capping. Nine named tombs were recorded in Church Hill Graveyard. Seventeen unnamed tombs were recorded in various states of preservation. The majority are constructed with rubble limestone. A total of three hundred and eleven (311) named headstones were recorded in Churchill graveyard. Fifty eight unnamed headstones were recorded throughout the medieval graveyard area at Church Hill' (Dunne 2010, 10-15).

- KE028-119 Souterrain
Description
The discovery of this previously unrecorded souterrain was reported by the landowner. The opening in the roof of the chamber/passage measures 1.10m by 0.7m the large boulder like lintel that spanned the opening now rests on the floor of the passage/chamber effectively, due to its size, preventing access to the northern end of the souterrain. The visible chamber/passage runs N-S for a length of 2.9m. This is undoubtedly the southern end of the souterrain as the floor level rises from north to south eventually merging at the southern end of the exposed chamber/passage. The northern end of the chamber passage is partially earth cut with only the upper 0.35 of the maximum (1.22m) height of the chamber/passage constructed of dry stone walling. The creep runs in a northerly direction. It is lintelled and the walling is composed entirely of stone. The north-north-east side of the creep is unstable as the side wall has pushed inwards. While there is also some collapse within the creep itself. The large lintel stuck in the passage/chamber prevents further exploration of the creep and any further chambers and passages. The creep measures approximately 0.6m wide and 0.45m high. Compiled by: Michael Connolly, Kerry County Archaeologist. Date of upload: 26 April 2012
