Recorded monuments

• GA029-058001 Church
  Description

  On a W-facing slope within a meander of the Clare River: the monument stands within an overgrown rectangular graveyard. Traditionally regarded as the site of St Jarlath's first monastic foundation before his move to Tuam (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 377; see GA029-199----). The church is marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a roofed rectangular building, aligned E-W. All that survives is part of an ivy-clad W gable and adjoining section of N side-wall of a rectangular building (ESE-WNW: L >1.75m, Wth >3.55m). According to OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 44, also 34-5, 42-5), its internal dimensions 'as is definable by the foundation, were '13 yards by 4 yards' (L 11.8m, Wth 3.7m). Of W gable, OS Letters (ibid.) also record that there was 'a window or opening on, or near its top' but no trace of it was noted. Intermittent wall foundations are also visible just to NW and SW of the church. A CBG (GA029-058003-) and a bullaun lie immediately to S.
