• CO112-034001 Historic town
  Description

  On or near site of early Christian monastery (CO112-085----); established as trading post by Vikings (Jefferies 1986, 34) and settled by Anglo-Normans c. 1200 (Garner 1980, 1). Received first charter relatively late in 1333-4; murage grant to repair town walls in 1348 (CO112-03402-); market grant of 1226 seems to confirm presence of town at that date (Thomas 1992, 138). Town was 'of little importance throughout the medieval period' (Garner ibid) but featured in siege during Battle of Kinsale in 1601 (Mulcahy 1968, 54-67). Town's defences strengthened in 17th century by construction of James Fort (CO112-036---) in 1604 and Charles Fort in 1670 (CO125-007---),but taken by Williamite forces in 1690 (Mulcahy ibid, 30) when much damage done to town walls. The town continued to grow and prosper to some extent in 18th and 19th centuries, with a heavy reliance on the fishing industry (Gillen and Hurley 1978, 11).

• CO112-034002 Town defences
  Description

  Town of Kinsale given 1st charter in 1333-4 which states that 'the walls are ruinous, and the burgesses not able to repair them'; possibly walled from mid-13th century; murage grant to repair walls in 1348 (Thomas 1992,138). Walls probably battlemented with internal rampart, external fosse, c.15 towers; 4 gates and internal gate Upper town, 2 in Base town (Thomas ibid). Damaged during Battle of Kinsale in 1601 (Mulcahy 1968, 17); according to Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 234), town walls largely destroyed during siege of 1690, though subject to some repairs in 18th century (McSwiney 1938, 82-5 & 92-3). Three remaining gates removed by 1805 (Lewis ibid). McSwiney (ibid., 81) traces layout of walls which enclosed what Bradley (1985, 452) describes as 'forked-linear' street pattern. Thomas (ibid) suggests that walling of Base town, which continues linear pattern to SE, may be later, possibly late 16th century. At most, only fragmentary remains of town's defences survive above ground level (McSwiney ibid, 92); according to Thomas (ibid., 137) 'much of N wall survives in reduced form as a field boundary ... no other remains'.

  Description

  Roughly oval graveyard (c. 80m E-W; c. 60m N-S) surrounding St. Multose church (CO112-03405-), enclosed by high stone wall; however 1842 OS 6-inch map shows graveyard largely unenclosed. Gate has 'fine piers of channelled ashlar' (Garner 1980, 13) of late 18th century date with 'particularly handsome' wrought-iron gates. Contains many 'dog-kennel' mausoleums; one large early 18th century mausoleum with ' cornice, cemented walls and slated roof' (ibid). Grave slab on Webb vault near S wall dated 1582 (Darling 1895, 29); altar tomb against S wall dated 1670 (ibid, 41); numerous other vaults, chest tombs and uninscribed headstones. In occasional use.

• CO112-034005 Church
  Description

  In Kinsale; C of I parish church of St. Multose, 'one of the few medieval parish churches in Ireland still in use' (Leask 1966, vol. 2, 149-50). Rectangular nave and chancel, once separated by a chancel arch taken down in 1730 (Darling 1895, 16). Nave aisled; N aisle continues to near end of chancel; transept to N in line with easternmost bay of nave. Tower rises over W end of N aisle. On S side of nave aisle, fragmentary remains of 16th century 'Galway Chapel'. Though much altered, church remains, according to Leask (ibid) 'in extent and plan, as when first built in the early thirteenth century'. He dates this early phase 'on the evidence of one transitional pointed window-head' (ibid), rebuilt over door in N wall of tower. However, group of three lancets in W wall are 'apparently of mid-century (i.e. 13th) date', otherwise the windows are 'less certainly dateable'. Church much altered 1730 and again 1759-60, but major renovations, including replacing N nave and chancel arcade and complete re-roofing, took place 1835-7; 'sweeping alterations' again made 1856-8 (Darling ibid, 16-9). Chancel given new ceiling in 1951 (Garner 1980, 11). During re-flooring of nave in 1858 many 'stone coffins' were found 'made of two flags placed parallel, with one at head and another at feet; a series of thin slabs over all for a cover'; burials were thought to be 'ecclesiastics' from the 'ornaments found with some of them' (Darling ibid.,19-20). Other items of interest include rectangular font with spiral shaft; statue of cleric with pastoral staff in niche over W door. Church also contains an interesting collection of 16th, 17th and 18th century grave slabs, memorials and plaques (Darling ibid, 27-43; Garner ibid, 12); including tombstone of Jacobus Galwey dated 1627 (rubbing Caulfield & Darling 1895-7, facing 47); tombstone of William Galwey dated 1628 (rubbing ibid, facing 46); and monuments to Katherine Percival (dated 1682) and Robert and Helena Southwell (dated 1679), this latter has 'an unusual sarcophagus surmounted by an urn' (Potterton 1975, 90).

• CO112-034006 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On the NW side of Cork Street, on rising ground overlooking the historic town of Kinsale. This 3-storey tower house was built as a town residence by the Fitzgerald family, whose arms are over the door, hence why it is known as 'Desmond Castle' (Healy 1988, 247; Gillen and Hurley 1978, 29). It is one of around 40 'urban tower houses' that survive in Ireland (Heritage Castles of County Cork 2017, 89). It was apparently owned by a William Baines in 1581 (Coleman 1912, 133), but functioned as a magazine in 1601 (Gillen and Hurley ibid) where weapons and gunpowder were stored during the Spanish occupation of the town ahead of the Battle of Kinsale. It was subsequently used as a prison for foreign captives - and is therefore also sometimes known as the 'French Prison' -, many of whom died in the fire of 1747 (O'Sullivan 1905, 10). It was the borough jail in 1791-1846. It was declared a National Monument in 1938 and restored by the OPW. A photograph of the tower in the early 20th century (Coleman 1912, opp. p 133) shows the gable over the 2nd floor facing the street, now replaced by battlements; other recent repairs include the removal of rendering and the replacement of missing mullions as well as the blocking of ground floor windows. The central ground floor door has a pointed arch, and a hood moulding with floriated stops; the door may be an insertion (Harbison 1970 (reprint 1992), 80). The two central 1st floor windows have ogee heads (cusped to left) divided by mullion and transome; similar windows, but with rounded arches, are set at corner angles. There is a single central window at the 2nd floor level, a rectangular light divided by mullion and transome. All lights have hood mouldings overhead. There is a string course between ground and 1st floors. This is a National Monument in State Ownership (no. 360).

• CO112-034009 Armorial plaque (present location)
  Description

  This armorial plaque is on display on the ground floor of the Kinsale Museum, which is situated in the old Market House (CO112-034007-). In recent years it was on display, with another armorial plaque (CO112-034010-), for some time in the Desmond Castle (CO112-034006-) nearby. According to local information, both were originally built into the Cork Gate of Kinsale, which was part of the town defences (CO112-034002-). This gate was demolished by 1805 and the plaques were retrieved and kept for a time at Charles Fort (CO125-007----). This, the smaller of the two plaques, is rectangular (H 0.58m; Wth 0.6m) but has a small rectangular projection (H 0.07m; Wth 0.21m) in the centre of its top to accommodate the crest. The arms are those of Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland and Knight of the Garter, shown quarterly of eight, with the Sidney arms, a pheon (an arrowhead), in the top left quarter. The arms are on a heater-shaped shield encircled with the garter, on which is carved the royal motto (HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE). There is a helmet and mantling above the garter and the Sidney crest, a porcupine, on the projecting portion of the plaque. There is a small Tudor rose in the bottom left corner and the date 1576, with foliage ornament continuing across the base of the plaque. Clearly the Cork Gate was either entirely rebuilt or extensively repaired by or at the instigation of Sidney in 1576. The carving on the plaque is in relief.

• CO112-034010 Armorial plaque (present location)
  Description

  This armorial plaque is on display on the ground floor of the Kinsale Museum, which is situated in the old Market House (CO112-034007-). In recent years it was on display, with another armorial plaque (CO112-034009-), for some time in the Desmond Castle (CO112-034006-) nearby. According to local information, both were originally built into the Cork Gate of Kinsale, which was part of the town defences (CO112-034002-). This gate was demolished by 1805 and the plaques were retrieved and kept for a time at Charles Fort (CO125-007----). This, the larger of the two plaques, is rectangular (H 0.7m; Wth 0.64m) and has the arms of Queen Elizabeth on a heater-shaped shield encircled with the garter, with the letters ER and the date 1576 between the shield and the garter. The royal motto (HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE) is inscribed on the garter. There is a crown above the garter-frame and it is flanked by a crowned lion to the left and a dragon to the right. Below the frame, to the left, is a harp and, to the right, a portcullis. The carving on the plaque is in relief. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

• CO112-034011 Architectural fragment
  Description

  This fragment is on display on the ground floor of the Kinsale Museum, which is situated in the old Market House (CO112-034007-). It consists of a single carved block, the upper portion of a two-light ogee-headed window (L 0.80m; H 0.28m; T 0.22m). Each light is 0.19m wide and there is no evidence for glazing bars. The central spandrel bears the coat-of-arms of the Roche family flanked on either side by a stem terminating in a single leaf. The corner spandrels are each decorated with a Tudor rose. All carving is in false relief and is typical of work dating to the 15th/16th centuries. The piece was formerly incorporated in Roche's bond house, Kinsale, and was transferred to the museum when that building was demolished (pers. comm. E. Gillan). The original provenance of the fragment is unknown but it undoubtedly came from one of the merchant houses in Kinsale.

• CO112-034012 Architectural fragment
  Description

  This fragment is on display on the first floor of the Kinsale Museum, which is situated in the old Market House (CO112-034007-). It consists of a highly-decorated chamfered fragment (0.26m x 0.25m; H 0.25m), probably part of a window or door jamb (that came from a house inside the town wall near the Friar's Gate (pers. comm. E. Gillan). The chamfer is carved with Classical motifs arranged in panels and is dominated by the date '1574' above a narrow band of stylised foliated trefoils from which hangs a pendant comprising a single chain link and a stem with two leaves and fruits or kernel-like embellishments below. The pendant is further enhanced by single ribbons on either side hanging from the link. The panel above the date contains a double swag-like motif. The chamfer is flanked by typical Gothic decoration comprising a twisted rope-like motif linking two stylised Tudor roses (left) and a band of four vine leaves arranged in regular diamond fashion with the intervening triangular spaces filled with bunches of grapes and foliate or knot motifs (right).

  Description

  In Kinsale; C of I parish church of St. Multose (CO112-034005-), 'one of the few medieval parish churches in Ireland still in use' (Leask 1966, vol. 2, 149-50). Church much altered 1730 and again 1759-60, but major renovations, including replacing N nave and chancel arcade and complete re-roofing, took place 1835-7; 'sweeping alterations' again made 1856-8 (Darling ibid, 16-9). Chancel given new ceiling in 1951 (Garner 1980, 11). Existence of sheela-na-gig inside St. Multose church is recorded as being located ‘on a stone in St. Multose church’(http://jillschubert.com/ireland.htm accessed 22 May 2012). This figure is not a sheela-na-gig, but is a carving of the ‘outline of a child with paddle hands. The folklore is that the fishwives would rub this stone for good luck while their men were at sea. The other side of the stone has been used as an 18th century gravestone’(http://www.irelands-sheelanagigs.org/archive/index-42071.php.html accessed 22 May 2012).

• CO112-095 Architectural fragment
  Description

  On the E side of Carmel Avenue, adjacent to the line of the town wall of Kinsale (CO112-034001-). Broken fragments of pecked and dressed limestone, also squared and roughly worked granite blocks (av. L 0.37m; av. Wth 0.24m) are now re-set amongst randomly coursed rubble in the walls of a religious grotto. The origin of this material is unknown but it may have been associated with the nearby Carmelite friary (CO112-089----).
