• WA037-004 Mill - unclassified
  Description

  Situated in a short W-E valley with a small stream that joins a larger N-S stream c. 350m to the E. This point is c. 650m W of where the unified stream enters the N-S River Blackwater. Boyle had established ironworks at Ballynatray by 1606, and this was leased to Thomas Ledsham from 1632. In 1638 it produced more than 70 tons of iron (Power 1978, 34). Boyle owned the mill at Ballynatray in the Civil Survey (1654-56) (Simington 1942, 20). A grist mill is marked on the Bateman map of 1716 in this valley. A flour mill is marked here on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, deriving its power from the N-S stream by a long mill-race (L c. 600m). The mill is described as a saw mill on the 1927 ed. of the map, and it is known locally to have continued in use as a sawmill until c. 1964. The central mill building is a four storey structure and probably dates from the 19th century and its use as a flour mill, but there is no evidence of Boyle's works. Power, T.

• WA037-005 House - 17th century
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of a S-facing slope on the N bank of the E-W River Blackwater at a point where it turns S. A stone house owned by Sir Richard Boyle in 1641 is recorded in the Civil Survey (1654-6) (Simington 1942, 20). It is thought to have been Elizabethan in style, as illustrated in an early 18th-century sketch recorded by Went (1949). The present house is late 18th century (Bence-Jones 1978, 26-7) in date and has two storeys and eleven bays with a basement. The three central bays are recessed on the N front, but connected by a porch. A portion of the earlier house is thought to be preserved in the basement (Craig et al. 1977, 73-5). Archaeological monitoring (97E0326) at the house produced no archaeological material, while remote sensing (07R0111) in the gardens to the E produced evidence of the paths depicted on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and likely to date from the early 18th century (Nichols 2007).

• WA037-011001 Religious house - Augustinian canons
  Description

  Located on an island (diam. c. 70-80m) at the W side of the N-S Blackwater river at a point where it is turning from E-W to N-S, and c. 200m N of where the W-E Glendine stream joins the Blackwater. The island was connected to the mainland at Lackaroe, S of the Glendine, by causeways and bridges in 1806 (Anon, 1903, 313). Although privately owned it is open to visitors daily in June and July, and Tuesday to Thursday from Easter to the end of September, with parking available near Templepmichael Church (WA037-013001-). This is an early ecclesiastical site founded in the 6th century by St Molana, which was known as Dairinis Maelanfaid - the oakwood island of Molana, and two abbots of the 8th century are recorded (Power 1932a, 143). It adopted the Augustinian rule in the 12th century, possibly when it became associated with the Anglo-Norman lord Raymond le Gros, who was said to be buried there. The association is unlikely, but his reputed effigial grave-slab (Stalley 1991, 11) is now lost. Power (1932a, 152) illustrates another graveslab that is also untraceable. The abbey declined in the later middle ages and was suppressed in 1541. It was granted to Sir Walter Raleigh in the 1580s, whose first tennant, Thomas Harriot, had participated in Raleigh's Roanoke colony in north America (Klingelhofer and Lyttleton 2010), but it is unlikely that Harriot occupied the site. The remains are substantial with most features surviving almost complete. The remains consist of an undifferentiated nave and chancel church with a cloister and conventual buildings to the S. The nave (int. dims. c. 17m x 7.6m), which incorporates the masonry of an early church at the W end, was extended by a chancel (int. dims. 19m x 7.6m) built in the early 13th century which has eleven lancet windows in the long walls. The E chancel window was modified as a smaller embrasure and it is now largely destroyed. A sacristy or abbot’s house of two storeys (int. dims.7.25m N-S; 5.25m E-W) was added N of the chancel. It has a newel stairs to the first floor at the NW angle. The cloister (dims. 19.65m N-S; c. 14.75m E-W) has no arcade, but corbels to support the roof of one are on all the surrounding walls. The E range (int. dims. 18.8m N-S; 5.25m E-W) is not vaulted and features four plain doorways in the W wall which lead to the cloister. The E range probably contained the chapterhouse and other offices with a dormitory overhead (now destroyed). The refectory (int. dims. 21.25m E-W; 6.05m N-S) at S is largely destroyed but the projecting reader’s window on the S wall survives. The kitchens (ext. dims. c. 15.3m N-S; 6.56m E-W) at W are also in ruins but a stone-lined well (int. diam. 1.55m; D 0.9m) survives outside it to the W. A defensive wall (L 15m; max. H 1.5m) extending SE of the E range includes the remains of a gateway (Wth of passage 2.4m; L 3.05m). There is a record of a wall-painting in the ‘south-facing scriptorium’ (J.C. 1908), probably the refectory, but it was not noted at time of inspection.
