Recorded monuments

• WA017-005001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in a low-lying landscape. An early ecclesiastical site and the parish church of Kill St Lawrence within a rectangular, neglected graveyard (dims. c. 70m E-W; c. 40m N-S). It was once part of the possessions of the Knights Hospitallers of Kilbarry (WA017-003001-) (Nolan 1984, 47). Only the E gable with a rectangular window of Dundry stone inserted into a wider embrasure, and the W gable with a central doorway (largely destroyed) survives (ext. dims. c. 11.7m E-W; 5.85m N-S). The graveyard was used for famine burials and was enclosed by a rectangular masonry wall in the late 19th century. A fragment of what may be a 17th-century headstone (Walton 1980, 70) was not located. The graveyard is within a larger circular ecclesiastical enclosure in rough pasture (dims. c. 130m N-S; c. 95m E-W) which is defined by a fosse (at S: Wth of top 13.5m; Wth of base 4.5m; int. D 0.8m; ext. D 0.4m) E-SW, a curving road fence SW-NW and irregular field boundaries elsewhere. The standing stone (WA017-108----) was just outside this enclosure at SE. Geophysical survey and excavation (02E1448; 03E0127) in advance of roadworks identified a fosse inside the ecclesiastical enclosure, around the E and S sides of the graveyard. Charcoal from a pit inside the inner enclosure produced a C14 date of 370-540 Cal AD, but charcoal from the outer ditch produced a date of 650-780 Cal. AD. Prospection also identified two circular hut-sites (WA017-005005-; WA017-005006-) (diam. c. 10m), each with a central hearth and both possibly within an enclosure, just SE of the ecclesiastical enclosure. Most of these features were preserved beneath a layer of terram under the N-S R708 Airport road. (Corcoran 2004; O'Connell 2004; 2006d) Corcoran, E. (2004) Kill St Lawrence, Waterford.

• WA017-108 Standing stone
  Description

  Situated on wet, low-lying ground, outside and to the SE of the ecclesiastical enclosure around Kill St Lawrence church (WA017-005001-). A shale stone (dims. c. 0.6m x c. 0.35m; original H 1.35m) was roughly aligned N-S. The stone leaned severely to W and may have been damaged in antiquity. It was moved to the edge of the field since 1989, and no evidence of it was found in excavation and survey conducted for the re-alignment of the R708 Airport road. When roadworks were completed it was re-erected close to its original location on the E side of the road. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999).
