• LI030-018001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Dysert Aenghusa (Diseart Aonghasa) was a monastery belonging to the 'Céile Dé' or 'Client of God' (Ó Carragáin 2010, 308). The monastery was dedicated to St. Aonghas who is also associated with Dyasrtenos (LA013-059001-), Co. Laois (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 383). In the year 1033 the Annals of the Four Masters recorded the death of ‘Conn, son of Maelpadraig, airchinnech [erenagh] of Mungairit [Mungret] and Disert-Oenghusa [Aonghasa]’ (O’Donovan 1856, 827). This reference links the monastery of Mungret (LI013-009001-), Co. Limerick located 13km to the NNE with Dysert-Aonghasa. This Aonghas appears to have been the Aonghas of Tallaght monastery (DU021-037002-) who wrote the metrical martyrology known as Féilire Aonghasa (Ó Riain 2011, 79). The preface added to the Féilire Aonghasa in the late twelfth century recorded details in his life which bring him from a church named after him at Dysert (Diseart Aonghasa), to Coolbanagher (Cúil Bheannchair) (LA008-014001-), a little north of Dysartenos (Diseart Aonghasa), in Laois, where he allegedly began his metrical martyrology, and finally to Tallaght, where he finished the Féilire Aonghasa (ibid.). Aonghas was reputedly buried at Clonenagh (LA017-003001-), Co. Laois, after his death some time between 815-830, his feast day was the 11th of March (Stokes 1905, xxvi). Present remains consist of a multi-period church (LI030-018002-) with round tower (LI030-018004-) immediately to N with graveyard (LI030-018003-) to S of church as depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. Dysert Church incorporates part of a pre-Norman church which appears to have stood inside a small square shaped cashel. This ecclesiastical enclosure was described in 1826 as following; 'The entire was surrounded with a strong square wall, parts of which still remain’ (Fitzgerald and MacGregor 1826, 332). In 1868 the enclosure was described as 'Some remains of the foundation of a massive wall which once inclosed the precincts of the church and tower are still in existence' (Brash 1868, 60-1). This square wall surrounding the pre-Norman church of Dysert Aonghusa may have served as a monastic cashel of pre-Norman date contemporaneous with the church.

• LI030-018002 Church
  Description

  National monument No. 83. Dysert Aenghusa (Diseart Aonghasa) was a monastery belonging to the 'Céile Dé' or 'Client of God' (Ó Carragáin 2010, 308). The monastery was dedicated to St. Aonghas who is also associated with Dyasrtenos (LA013-059001-), Co. Laois (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 383). In the year 1033 the Annals of the Four Masters recorded the death of ‘Conn, son of Maelpadraig, airchinnech [erenagh] of Mungairit [Mungret] and Disert-Oenghusa [Aonghasa]’ (O’Donovan 1856, 827). This reference links the monastery of Mungret (LI013-009001-), Co. Limerick located 13km to the NNE with Dysert-Aonghasa. This Aonghas appears to have been the Aonghas of Tallaght monastery (DU021-037002-) who wrote the metrical martyrology known as Féilire Aonghasa (Ó Riain 2011, 79). The preface added to the Féilire Aonghasa in the late twelfth century recorded details in his life which bring him from a church named after him at Dysert (Diseart Aonghasa), to Coolbanagher (Cúil Bheannchair) (LA008-014001-), a little north of Dysartenos (Diseart Aonghasa), in Laois, where he allegedly began his metrical martyrology, and finally to Tallaght, where he finished the Féilire Aonghasa (ibid.). Aonghas was reputedly buried at Clonenagh (LA017-003001-), Co. Laois, after his death some time between 815-830, his feast day was the 11th of March (Stokes 1905, xxvi). Present remains consist of a multi-period church with round tower (LI030-018004-) immediately to N with graveyard (LI030-018003-) to S of church as depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. Dysert Church was described in 1826 as measuring ‘fifty feet [15.25m] long by twenty-five [7.6m] broad, built with the same kind of stone, and from every appearance both seem to have been erected at the same time; the doors and windows of the church are also constructed of large square blocks of red grit. The entire was surrounded with a strong square wall, parts of which still remain’ (Fitzgerald 1826, 332). Shortly afterwards in 1840 the Ordnance Survey letters described the old church of Dysart as following; ‘It is 53ft 6in. [16.3m] in length and 17ft. 3in. [5.25m] in breadth on the inside and its side walls are about 14 feet high [4.26m] and from 2ft 10 in. [0.86m] to 3 ft. [0.91m] thick, and built of enormous blocks of limestone laid in pretty regular courses. The building is not divided into nave and choir. The east gable is in tolerably good preservation but is so clothed with ivy that I could not see its window, if it have any, which is to be doubted. The west gable is also up, but contains no feature but a large quadrangular window nearly disfigured and its sides so covered with ivy that I could not see how it is built . At the distance of 11ft. 6in. [3.5m] from the east gable the south wall contained a window which is reduced to a formless breach. At the distance of 21 ft. [6.4m] from the west gable the east side of the doorway and a fragment of its lintel are to be seen but the rest of it is destroyed, there being a large breach in the wall here. The side of the doorway is built of blocks of red sandstone and is 6 ft. 3½ in. [1.9m] in depth and extending the entire thickness of the wall (2ft.11in.) [0.89m]. There is a large breach in the north wall nearly opposite the one in the south wall’ (RIA MS 14/D/18/11 (i), 189-90). In 1865 Dysert was described as a church 'built of limestone, and has been much repaired; but a portion of the walls, together with the doorway, appear to be part of the original structure. This portion contains some large stones, their dimensions being from 2 to 3ft. [0.6-0.9m] in length and width; they do not run through the wall, but are used as facings on each side, and are filled in with grouting in the centre. The length of the Church internally is 54ft. [16.45m], the breadth 18ft. [5.5m], and the thickness of the walls about 3ft. [0.9m]. The doorway is in the south side, 21ft. [6.4m] from the west end. Only one of the jambs remains, which, as is usual in early Irish churches, is slightly inclined, and but one half of the great lintel-stone 1ft. 4 in. [0.4m] thick, which was probably broken by the superincumbent pressure, when the western jamb was removed. This doorway has a flat, slightly projecting band or architrave, 11in. [0.27m] wide, which is not an unusual feature in the old churches. On the lintel the line of architrave is nearly 4in. [0.1m] to the west of its true position, the result most probably of the pressure of ivy, affording a striking instance of the power of this agent in moving so large a stone. The height of the door is 6ft. 5in. [1.95m]. A few years ago, during a gale of wind, the western gable fell down, in consequence apparently of the heavy mass of ivy which had been allowed to remain upon it. The eastern gable has also been rebuilt at some time, comparatively recent, and contains no window' (Dunraven 1865, 212-3). A few years later in 1868 the church was described as: 'A ruined church stands south of the tower (LI030-018004-) at only ten feet [3m] distance. It is a simple rectangle fifty one feet [15.5m] long, and sixteen feet six inches [5m] wide. About twenty-six feet [7.9m] of the side wall, towards the east end, appear to be of some considerable antiquity by the character of the masonry, which is of large-sized rubble work of that peculiar character found in many of our ancient churches of the primitive type. This masonry is not of the same character as that in the tower, the stones being irregular, more polygonal, and not so carefully put together. The remainder of the walls, as well as the east gable, has been rebuilt at a much later period - when, it is impossible to say, as there is no feature in it that would determine its date. The only object worth noticing is a portion of an ancient doorway remaining in the south wall, and consisting of one jamb, and a piece of the lintel. This doorway was quadrangular, with converging jambs. The dressings were of red stone cleanly worked; the lintel was a massive block covering the entire ope the full thickness of wall; the existing jamb is composed of five blocks, each the full depth of wall, which is about three feet [0.9m] in thickness. This doorway is not in the ancient portion of the building, but is in the modern addition. It is more than probable that it was the original west-end entrance of the ancient church, which, on its enlargement, was re-erected in its southern wall. The mutilation of this doorway, the finest of its type which I have yet seen, is greatly to be regretted, as it was evidently done for the sake of the material, the blocks of the left-hand jamb having been picked out of the wall, and the lintel broken in attempting to force it from its position. There are no evidences of interments in or around the church. Some remains of the foundation of a massive wall which once inclosed the precincts of the church and tower are still in existence' (Brash 1868, 60-1). The multi-period church was described by Westropp (1904-05, 385-6) as following; ‘The church and round tower (LI030-018004-) remain in Carrigeen townland, and were in 1827 surrounded by a strong, square cashel (LI030-018001-) (Fitzgerald 1826, 332). The church is 54 feet [16.45m] by 18 feet [5.5m] ; the walls 3½ [1m] feet, part of south wall and the broken door being very massive and old, the door having a flat band round its outer face. The east gable is late (Dunraven says the reverse); the west had a window, but fell, and was rebuilt by Mr. Luke Christy before 1869. The head of a late fifteenth-century window was found’ (Dunraven 1877, 25-6). The monastic foundation, its round tower and church were described by Harbison (1970, 147-8) as following; 'The monastery is first mentioned in history in 1083, when one of its abbots died, but it was probably founded by Oenghus the Culdee, the great reformer who died in 815. The present church is 15th/16th century in date, but it incorporates parts of an older church as c

• LI030-018004 Round tower
  Description

  National monument No. 83. Dysert Aenghusa (Diseart Aonghasa) was a monastery belonging to the 'Céile Dé' or 'Client of God' (Ó Carragáin 2010, 308). The monastery was dedicated to St. Aonghas who is also associated with Dyasrtenos (LA013-059001-), Co. Laois (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 383).

This reference links the monastery of Mungret (LI013-009001-), Co. Limerick located 13km to the NNE with Dysert-Aonghasa. This Aonghas appears to have been the Aonghas of Tallaght monastery (DU021-037002-) who wrote the metrical martyrology known as Féilire Aonghasa (Ó Riain 2011, 79). The preface added to the Féilire Aonghasa in the late twelfth century recorded details in his life which bring him from a church named after him at Dysert (Diseart Aonghasa), to Coolbanagher (Cúil Bheannchair) (LA008-014001-), a little north of Dysartenos (Diseart Aonghasa), in Laois, where he allegedly began his metrical martyrology, and finally to Tallaght, where he finished the Féilire Aonghasa (ibid.). Aonghas was reputedly buried at Clonenagh (LA017-003001-), Co. Laois, after his death some time between 815-830, his feast day was the 11th of March (Stokes 1905, xxvi). Present remains consist of a multi-period church (LI030018002-), round tower immediately to N with graveyard (LI030-018003-) to S of church as depicted on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. Round tower described in 1868 as following; ‘The round tower stands at the north side of the church (LI030-018002-) from the wall of which it is distant ten feet [3m]. It presents an appearance of almost complete symmetry and proportion, the entasis, or batter, being most carefully designed and worked out. Some considerable portion of the upper part is wanting at least one complete storey, and the conical roof-covering as is evident from the fact, that the existing upper storey does not present the usual feature of the four windows facing the cardinal points, as is generally found in perfect examples of these monuments. The tower is based upon a foundation of limestone rock, which crops a little above the surface, the firmness of its substructure accounting for the perfect solidity of the superstructure, and the absence of all cracks and settlements in the walling. The material is limestone; the workmanship is of roughly squared rubble work with few spawls, stones of large size laid in courses, or nearly so, and accurately dressed to the curve, and batter, of tower. The door and window dressings are of sandstone, of a bright red colour and fine quality; the stones are, as usual in round tower opes, remarkably well worked and close jointed. The body of the tower rises from a base, or rather plinth, averaging twelve inches [0.3m] in height, and four inches [0.1m] offset or projection; its present height is sixty five feet seven inches [20m], measured from below the doorway to top of present eave; there is some little irregularity in the height on account of the inequality of the ground at the base. The circumference of the tower measured immediately above plinth, is fifty-four feet [16.45m] ; its diameter at door-sill (internal) is seven feet ten inches [2.4m], where the walling is four feet three inches [1.3m] in thickness ; its diameter at extreme top is five feet six inches [1.67m], and thickness of walling there three feet six inches [1.1m]: these dimensions give the ratio of batter on external face, as about one in twenty-six. I am inclined to think, from the thickness of the walling of this example, that it had been originally two storeys higher, which, allowing eleven feet [3.35m] for each storey, and fifteen feet [4.6m] for the conical roof covering, would make this tower to have been one hundred and two feet [31m] in height ; this inference is only reasonable when we find this structure to have a walling of three feet six inches [1.1m], at the height of sixty-five feet [19.8m], while many other towers are no thicker in the first storey. There are no internal string courses or corbels; the building is divided into five storeys, by four offsets taken off the thickness of the wall, and on which rested the original floors, whether of wood or stone; these offsets average five inches [0.12m] in width. It is worthy of remark, that the height of the storeys is regularly graduated from the bottom by about one foot [0.3m] each storey, the basement storey being actually fifteen feet [4.57m] in height from the external ground, and probably was a little more originally. The upper surface of the door-sill is fifteen feet [4.57m] above present ground line. The ope, is semicircular-headed; the jambs as usual converge towards the top; the dressings are of large blocks of red sandstone; its dimensions are as follow: width of sill, two feet nine inches [0.83m]; width at spring of arch, two feet five inches [0.73m]; height to same, four feet five inches [1.35m]; the internal width at sill is two and a half inches [0.07m] less than external width. There is a breach in the face of the arched head. There is no internal rebate, or any preparation for hanging a door, but there is a square hole or mortice in the centre of the jamb about two and a half inches [0.07m] square. The door faces east, or nearly so. About six inches [m] above the second floor is an angular-headed window, square internally; one foot six inches [0.15m] wide at sill, one foot two inches [0.35m] wide at spring of angular head, and three feet eight inches [1.1m] high from sill to apex. Six inches [0.15m] over third floor is a semicircular-headed window ope facing south, one foot five inches [0.43m] wide at sill, one foot three inches [0.38m] at spring of arched head, and two feet eleven inches [0.9m] from sill to offset. Six inches [0.15m] above the fourth floor is a quadrangular window ope facing north; width at sill, one foot six inches [0.45m]; at head, one foot four inches [0.4m], and two feet six inches [0.76m] in height. The base of this tower was formerly filled up to the level of the sill of doorway. In the year 1849, Mr. Luke Christy, the tenant of the lands of Carrigeen, had it excavated; the result of which he has kindly communicated to me. For the first three feet [0.9m] decayed vegetables, rubbish, dead birds, &c, were thrown out ; from this to a depth of five feet [1.5m] from door sill, earth, with traces of mortar and some stones; at between four and five feet [1.5m] were found a quantity of human bones, imbedded in the earth, without any trace of coffin or covering whatsoever; these bones were in a very decayed state, and belonged to one body ; there were only portions of the skull. Within about six feet [1.8m] of the foundation was found "a well-made, solid floor of clay, cracked a good deal, with whitish marks through it, over a foot thick, and looking as if it had been subject to fire: under this came a sort of red clay filling, and then about two feet [0.6m] from the bottom another floor nearly the same as the first. Just above the rock we got a quantity of cherry stones." In clearing up the bottom it was found the rock was in quite a rough state, the foundation laid on it without any apparent preparation. Mr. Christy further states that some human and a clinker, were found below the second clay floor’ (Brash 1868, 54-9). The monastic foundation, its round tower and multi-period church were described by Harbison (1970, 147-8) as following; 'Near the church is a Round Tower, 65 feet [19.8m] high, with pellets and moulding above the round-headed doorway.
