• DU014-002001 Church
  Description

  The remains of the medieval parish church lie in the W end of a graveyard N of St. Margaret's village. This site has been described as the 'old church' in the Civil survey (1654-6) see Anon 1897, 450-51; Simington 1945, 209; Tutty 1979, 155-157). The church was originally called Donaghmore and probably fell into ruin between 1630 and 1650 (Walsh 1888, 155). Only the western portion survives. It is built of rough masonry with some evidence for re-building. The N jamb of the W window is present. There are traces of a doorway in the N wall. The SW angle has been robbed of it's quoins (Dims. H of wall c. 1.80-3m, thickness of wall 0.82m). There is a possible buttress against the NW angle. It is extremely overgrown and has been subject to mortar wash-out.

• DU014-002003 Chapel
  Description

  A chantry chapel, apparently built by the Plunkett family (Tutty 1979, 155-157) in the sixteenth century lies southeast of the St. Margaret's medieval parish church (DU014-002002-). It is rectangular in plan (L 9m, WNW-ESE, Wth 4.9m, wall T 0.9m) and is entered through an elaborately decorated, pointed arched doorway which incorporates roll and hood moulding that terminates in a carved head. All the windows are blocked. There is a widely splayed window with chamfered, limestone jambs, and a square-headed window in the south wall. There is an aumbry on the same side. An L-shaped section of wall extends from the northeast angle of the chapel. An early 19th-century mausoleum is attached to the southeast corner. There are burials and big tree internally and there has been some rebuilding of the wall. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout Updated by: Christine Baker Date of upload: 21 January 2015
