• GA115-031 Church
  Description

  In a graveyard (GA115-031001-) on a slight rise in pastureland. All that survives of this medieval church is an ivy-covered section of its S side-wall (E-W; L >6m; max. H c. 3.8m; wall T 0.8m). No visible surface traces of the other walls survive. The central section of the wall has been robbed out. It is constructed of well-cut roughly coursed mortared limestone blocks. At its E end, the W side of a window embrasure is visible. On one of its internal jambstones there is a decorated panel bearing Romanesque knotwork. A cashel-like foundation beneath the modern curving wall of the graveyard at S may be part of an earlier enclosing wall, suggesting the possible presence of an ecclesiastical enclosure. The graveyard also contained a chapel (GA115-031002-) and a 19th-century Catholic church (GA115-031003-) occupies its NE end.

• GA115-031001 Graveyard
  Description

  In pastureland. This roughly subtriangular graveyard (c. 63m NE-SW; c. 53m NW-SE) is defined by a mortar-built limestone wall. In the S sector a single foundation course of larger projecting boulders may be part of an earlier enclosing wall, suggesting the possible presence of an ecclesiastical enclosure. The remains of a medieval church (GA115-031----) stand in the SE corner of the graveyard and a modern church (GA115-031004-) occupies the NE sector. No visible surface trace of the 'Old R.C. Chapel' shown on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map in its W sector survives. Modern headstones now occupy this area. The graveyard has been extended to the W.

Indicated on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map an L-shaped building aligned ENE-WSW with the NNW-SSE leg extending off its ENE end (L c. 12m on both axes).

  Description

  The following description is from https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/30411502/saint-dympnas-church-killeenadeema-west-co-galway last accessed 25 February 2020. Freestanding gable-fronted T-plan Roman Catholic church, built c.1830, with single-bay nave and transepts, shallow canted single-bay apse added c.1920 and having catslide roof, and two-bay sacristy addition to east elevation of latter. Pitched slate roofs, cut limestone bellcote to gable-front with cross finial, and render copings and cross pinnacles to transepts. Moulded kneelers to gables. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth course, eaves course, quoins, and central panel to gable-front. Sculpted human mask in upper part of gable-front. Pointed arch window openings with moulded render hood-mouldings, tooled limestone sills, and stained-glass windows with Y-tracery. Pointed arch door opening to gable-front with tooled chamfered limestone surround and render hood-moulding, having timber battened double-leaf door with overlight. Square-headed door openings to north transept gable and to west side of south transept, with recent timber doors. Freestanding octagonal-plan tooled limestone holy water font outside main doorway. Interior has timber battened ceiling, carved timber gallery with ogee-headed openings and recent pointed arch arcading under, forming internal porch. Marble altar furniture. Signed stained-glass windows to apse and east wall of transept by Harry Clarke. Church set in graveyard with numerous eighteenth and nineteenth-century gravemarkers and ruins of late medieval church[GA115-031----]. Rubble limestone boundary wall with numerous stiles. Recent double-leaf metal vehicular gate flanked by limestone ashlar piers with flat capstones, string course, panelled front and rear faces and moulded plinths, flanked in turn by similar recent metal pedestrian gates and railings on render copings to rubble limestone boundary walls. Tooled limestone cross devices set into boundary walls flanking railings. This pleasant church forms an important eyecatcher for the surrounding area. Its scale and form are typical of the architectural design employed in rural areas by the Catholic Church in the period following Emancipation, with simple render elevations enlivened by tooled limestone and render mouldings. The building's crowning glory however are the numerous signed Harry Clarke stained-glass windows which add artistic merit and historical significance to the site's architectural and social importance.
