• LI011-019 Graveyard
  Description

  On S side of road; entrance from road through wrought iron gates hung from ashlar limestone piers. Rectangular graveyard (56m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by stone wall. Still in use and maintained; it slopes down gently to S. Earliest headstones appear to be on W side, the earliest noted dated 1793. Eight chest tombs, a number vandalised, dating from mid-18th to mid-19th century. A group of 19th century mausolea are located in NE quadrant of graveyard. According to Spellissy (1989, 242) site of ancient parish church of Kilcornan was located in this graveyard. However the Ordnance Survey Name Books (ref, 25) and Westropp (1904-5) suggested that the medieval church was located on the site of the C of I church (LI011-022---) located 185m to ENE. Architectural fragments of medieval church reused as grave markers along with medieval doorway of church reused as doorway of 19th century mausoleum indicates that the site of the medieval church (LI011-019001-) of Kilcornan was located in this graveyard.

• LI011-019001 Church
  Description

  Medieval church of Kilcornan was located in graveyard (LI011-019----) situated on S side of road; entrance from road through wrought iron gates hung from ashlar limestone piers. Rectangular shaped graveyard enclosed by post-1700 stone wall. No surface remains visible of the site of the medieval church of Kilcornan, however two medieval window mullions with glazing grooves are visible as grave markers in centre of graveyard. These mullions came from a twin light window in the medieval church. A 19th century mausoleum belonging to the Boland family located in the NE quadrant of the graveyard has reused the cut stone doorway of the medieval church. This pointed limestone doorway has spandrels decorated with stiff leaf foliage. A group of mausolea located in the NE quadrant of this graveyard may have incorporated fabric of the medieval church or were built on the footprint of the medieval church. The alternating long and short quoins on the NE angle of the Waller family mausoleum are similar to quoins found on a medieval church. The Ordnance Survey Name Books (ref, 25) and Westropp (1904-5) suggested that the medieval church was located on the site of the C of I church (LI011-022---) located 185m to ENE. However Spellissy (1989, 242) suggested that the site of the parish church of Kilcornan was located in this graveyard.
