• CW007-020 Moated site
  Description

  Cropmarks initially identified on aerial photographs (CUCAP BOC 87, 88). Visible as a square shaped double ditched enclosure (map dims. diam. c. 40m) on the OSI Ortho 2000 (http://maps.osi.ie/publicviewer/#V1,673422,675381,6,4 accessed 28 April 2011). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 19 August 2011

• CW007-025001 Church
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope in undulating terrain. The church is located S of centre in the graveyard (CW007-025002-). A rectangular church (overall dims. 16.5m E-W; 8.6m N-S; int. dims. c. 13m E-W; c. 6.5m N-S) orientated E-W. The walls have largely collapsed and the outline is evident as a low, grass-covered bank (W wall int. H c. 0.9m; ext. H 0.45m; E wall int. H 0.6m; ext. H 0.72m). There is a gap in the N wall 4.7m from the W gable which is likely to have been a doorway. There may also have been a doorway opposite in the S wall but this area is very overgrown and obscured by debris from the graveyard clean-up. A carved stone head (CW007-167----) found in the graveyard is now in Carlow County Museum. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 23 June 2015

• CW007-025002 Graveyard
  Description

  On a NE-facing slope in undulating terrain. A road runs E-W along the N side of the graveyard. The only entrance is via a double stile of granite steps projecting from the N boundary wall. This boundary is earthen and faced with granite externally. There is a church (CW007-025----) located S of centre in the graveyard. On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map the graveyard is depicted as a roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 63m N-S; c. 52m E-W) with a small tree plantation to the E and trees growing around the edge of the graveyard from SW-N. The medieval church is outlined as a dashed line. A later building indicated as ‘Tomb’ on the 1st ed. map is depicted S of and parallel to the church. On the revised OS 6-inch map the graveyard is indicated as an area within a slightly larger rectangular enclosure. This area is defined by quite a substantial earthen bank (int. H 1.05m; ext. H 0.65m; Wth at top 0.8m; overall Wth 3m). The enclosing rectangular enclosure to the S and W is defined by an earthen field boundary. Beech trees, now mature, were planted along the S and W sides between the two banks, and along the N boundary. The majority of visible headstones and iron cross markers in the graveyard date to the 18th and 19th century. There are quite a number of small boulders which also appear to be indicating burials. The last burial in the graveyard was in 2007. A carved stone head (CW007-167----) found in the graveyard is now in Carlow County Museum. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 23 June 2015
