The proposed greenway measures 7.3 kms in length and affects mainly rural land in both public and private ownership. It follows the route of the Ulster Canal as it proceeds alongside the N12 national primary road to Middletown, County Armagh. The proposed stretch of Greenway within Monaghan Town connects to the existing greenway near Coolshannagh roundabout and passes along the rear of Monaghan Institute on the N12 Armagh Road.The proposed greenway from Monaghan Town to the border passes through the following Townlands: An Tulaigh Thirim (Tullyhirm); Cnoc an Chonnaidh (Knockaconny); Droim Ruatach Drumrutagh); Droim Achaidh Chruitin (Drumacruttan); An Chorr Bheag (Corbeg); Cruail (Crowey); Sceith na gCeann (Skinnagin); Táite an Teampaill (Templetate); Tulaigh Loiscthe (Tullylish); Táite Mhuileann an Ūcaire (Tuckmilltate); Coill Uí Néill (Killyneill); Coillidh Liaf (Killeef) and Tamlacht (Tamlat). The proposed Greenway will consist of the following 5m corridor incorporating a pathway up to 3m wide with a drainage/buffer verge up to 1m on each side. The pathway will consist of an unbound, granular surface course of gravel and dust, with asphalt in certain locations such as road crossing points, stock proof timber fencing (1.2m tall) at each side of the greenway where appropriate, as well as chicane railings at road crossing points, four pedestrian timber footbridges for connectivity across the canal and watercourses, underpass guardrails at the following bridges: Drumratagh Bridge; Crowey Bridge; Glebe Bridge and Pipers Bridge, information boards at the termination point in Monaghan Town, together with way-marking and advanced warning signage for users along the route where appropriate, and all necessary associated site works such as route clearance, tree felling where unavoidable, drainage improvements, road junction improvements for pedestrians (dropped kerbs, tactile paving), site levelling/re-grading works and cut and fill earthworks.

- MO010-003001 Church
Description
Located at the S end of a N-S spur. This is the site of the medieval parish church of Tyholland or Tehallen. According to the Tripartite Life of St Patrick, an uncertain source, Patrick established Cillín as a bishop at Tech Taláin (Ó Rian 2011, 175). The church is listed as Thechtalbi in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-04) of Pope Nicholas IV (Shirley 1879, 289), and the names of some of the priests are known from 1432 (Leslie 1929, 257-8). The church was described as ruinous in Bishop Spottiswood’s visitation of 1622 (McKenna 1920, 1, 290). In 1638 James de la Field of Derryneshallog (Shelvin?) left funds to build a chapel ’20 feet by 16 feet’ to be added to the church but it was probably not constructed (Shirley 1879; Leslie 1929). The church was built anew in 1788 (Lewis 1837, 2, 662) at the N edge of the graveyard. The tower was added in 1827 (Shirley 1879, 308), and St Cilian’s (or Sillian’s) Church of Ireland church continues to this day. There is no evidence of the medieval church in a D-shaped graveyard (dims c. 80m NNW-SSE; c. 50m ENE-WSW) defined by masonry walls that enclose most of the spur and which has a curved edge at NE where there is a road. Most of the headstones, dating from c. 1800 to the present, are confined to the top of the spur in the area S of the present church, where the medieval church is likely to have been. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 15 November, 2016
