Description
Henry (1987, 23) writing in 1739 recorded a redoubt at Ballyconnell, the location of which has been tentatively identified with that of the Church of Ireland chapel in the village (Davies 1948a, 96). The present church (erected c. 1800) is situated on a mound (diam c. 36.5m) which Davies (ibid.) suggested was artificial. He described it as being quite steep at N and W (H 3.9m) where the ground falls away to a stream. He noted a slight re-entrant at SW and claimed that a fosse was traceable as far as E wall of graveyard. However, his interpretation of the mound as artificial is questionable as there are a number of natural mounds of similar appearance in the immediate locality. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008
- CV010-012002 Exhibitionist figure (present location)
Description
Now situated inside the Church of Ireland chapel in Ballyconnell village but originally found in the the townland of Mullynagolman (CV010-052002-). Large sandstone architectural fragment (H 0.2m; max Wth 0.33; D 0.3m) — possibly the apex of a doorway or tympanum, decorated with what appears to be an exhibitionist figure of unusual form. Figure comprises a long, oval, bearded face with staring eyes and high-set ears, no body, but wide splaying arms and legs, buttocks and possible representations of testicles. The left hand holds a small purse in the form of a human face, the right, a horseshoe-shaped object. Davies (1948, 116-7) believed that it originally surmounted the doorway of Mullynagolman round tower (CV014-052003-) — a theory refuted by Barrow (1979, 58) who-claimed it more likely came from the church at that site as the round tower doorway would have been too narrow to accomodate the large figure. According to a website on sheela-na-gig this figure was found by K.M. Dickie in 1961 near the monastic site of Tuaim Drecon (CV014-052----), a few kilometres south of Ballyconnell, where church ruins (CV014-052001-) and a round tower (CV014-052003-) are no longer visible (http://www.irelands-sheelanagigs.org/archive/index-58272.php.html, accessed 23 May 2012). This carving which is now located inside the doorway of the Church of Ireland chapel at Ballyconnell was described by Freitag as a, ‘carving on arch-stone; long head with prominent ears, ovoid eyes with eyeballs, lower part of face mutilated. Figure with arms and legs, but no body. Sagging, apple-shaped genitalia indicated between widely splayed legs. Both hands hold and identical unidentifiable object’ (Freitag 2004, 143). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 23 May 2012
- CV010-013 Megalithic tomb - court tomb
Description
Situated in rolling countryside just N of Ballyconnell. This is a dual court tomb set in a long cairn. It is somewhat overgrown by trees and bushes. Two galleries, set back to back, are both 9m long, and each is divided by jambs into three chambers. They are likely to have shared a backstone but this is lacking. Eleven stones remain along the combined N sides of the galleries and seven along the S sides. There is a single courtstone just beyond the southern entrance jamb of the SW gallery and another about 2.5m from the S side of the entrance to the NE gallery. (O'Reilly 1988, 575-8; Ó Nualláin 1989, 116 Cv. 41) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
