Recorded monuments

• KK009-043001 Church
  Description

  On a steep S-facing slope on the side of a valley, in rolling grassland. Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 326-7) records that, 'The church of Sheffin stood in the extreme west end of the townland of Clonetubrid, within a few perches of the townland of Tifeaghna, and beside the public road from Clonetubrid chapel to Garranamanagh. It was obliterated long before anyone now living can remember'. He mentions that the associated graveyard (KK009-043002-) also went out of use, except for unbaptized children, but was levelled c. 1850. There is no visible trace at ground level and no local recollection of this church and graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 5 February 2018

• KK009-043002 Graveyard
  Description

  On a steep S-facing slope on the side of a valley, in rolling grassland. On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map a small rectangular area (dims. c. 17m x 11m) is indicated N of the public road and immediately E of Tifeaghna townland. The OS Letters (1839) refer to this as, 'a small obsolete burying ground now covered with furze in the Townland of Clontrbrid and called Cill Sheiffin' (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 90 (30)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 326-7) records that, 'The church of Sheffin stood in the extreme west end of the townland of Clonetubrid, within a few perches of the townland of Tifeaghna, and beside the public road from Clonetubrid chapel to Garranamanagh. It was obliterated long before anyone now living can remember. The graveyard having become obsolete, except for the burial of unbaptized children, was levelled about 1850, and every vestige of it removed as completely as if a human interment had never taken place here'. There is no visible trace at ground level and no local recollection of this church (KK009-043001-) and graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 5 February 2018

• KK009-044001 Church
  Description

  On a slight knoll on a terrace on valley side, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 327), 'The parish church of Clonetubrid disappeared very long ago. It stood at the south end of the modern churchyard of Clonetubrid, immediately outside the churchyard wall, where its site presents the appearance of a half dismantled rath'. There is no visible trace of the church at ground level. A finial (H 0.59m; Wth 0.61m) from a church of 10th/11th-century date, was originally loose in the graveyard and was subsequently incorporated in the stone structure covering the holy well (KK009-044004-) (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 329; Waldron, 1959, 50). This butterfly finial is decorated with a winged figure in relief and is illustrated and described by Ó Carragáin (2010, 42-3, fig. 41:6) as being worn with, ‘a boss at the right of the central standing, robed figure and there may originally have been another at the left. If so the composition is very reminiscent of the pediment of the Romanesque doorway at Roscrea Cathedral, where a standing, robed Christ is flanked by rosettes’. The finial may be from an early medieval church at this location. The OS Letters (1839) mention that the stone structure covering the holy well had a cut-stone facing on the exterior, but these stones were robbed for building material (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 90-91 (30-31)). It is possible that these cut stones were originally from the church. However, Ó Carragáin (2010, 308) suggests that the finial may have come from the early medieval church (KK013-023001-) in Freshford, c. 3km to the S.

• KK009-044002 Graveyard
  Description

  On a slight knoll on a terrace on valley side, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 327), 'The parish church [KK009-044001-] of Clonetubrid disappeared very long ago. It stood at the south end of the modern churchyard of Clonetubrid, immediately outside the churchyard wall, where its site presents the appearance of a half dismantled rath'. This suggests that the present enclosed graveyard is smaller than the original graveyard which would have surrounded the church. The present sub-rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 46m N-S; c. 60m E-W) has a modern RC church aligned E-W just N of the centre of the graveyard and a holy well (KK009-044004-) in the SE angle. The entrance is in the W wall, from the public road which runs NW-SE along the W side of the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 6 February 2018

• KK009-044004 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On a slight knoll on a terrace on valley side, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. The holy well is known as 'Toberadrugh' or the Hermit's Well, the hermit being associated with St Fiachra whose feast day was celebrated on the 8th of February (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 329-30). A holy well within a corbel-roofed stone structure (ext. dims. 3.05m E-W; 2.4m N-S; int. dims. 2.4m E-W; 0.75m N-S; wall T c. 0.9-0.95m), with external cement render. The structure is entered through a pointed doorway in the E gable (H c. 1.4m; Wth 0.55m; widening internally to 0.75m) with steps down to the well. There is a ledge in the N and S wall of the well. The eastern portion of the well is covered by two stone slabs. A stone finial from the graveyard (KK009-044002-), which was originally at the apex of a 10th/11th-century church (KK009-044001-), has been fixed to the apex of the E gable (Waldron 1959, 49). The OS Letters (1839) note that the external cut-stone facing of the structure was carted away as building material (O'Flanagan ed. 1930, vol. 1, 90-92 (30-31)). The interior of the well structure is described in the OS Letters (ibid.) as being, 'roughly plastered having several initial letters scratched on it and here and there the dates 1700, 1752, 1770, 1774'.

• KK009-044006 Architectural fragment
  Description

  A stone finial found in the graveyard (KK009-044002-) which comes from a 10th/11th-century church, possibly Clontubbrid church (KK009-044001-) which is no longer visible at ground level. The finial has been placed at the apex of the E gable of the stone structure that covers the holy well (KK009-044004-) within the graveyard. It is described with the church record for Clontubbrid, though Ó Carragáin (2010, 308) suggests that the finial may have come from the early medieval church (KK013-023001-) in Freshford, c. 3km to the S.
