Recorded monuments

• TS058-060 Church
  Description

  In grassland on top of a low rise of ground in upland area with good views in all directions. A castle (TS058-040----) and a ringfort (TS058-041----) are located 430m and 195m to the NE respectively. Described in the OS Letters as an 'old church which gave its name to the townland but its walls are now destroyed and grass and weeds are growing over their foundations, which are so effaced that the extent of the building could not be determined. The graveyard [TS058-060002-] is no longer used as a cemetery. This is probably the Cill Churnain mentioned in the Pedigree of the O'Briens as the seat of the race of Torlogh O'Brien, Erenach of Emly' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol.1, 9). There is no visible trace of this church above ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-060001 Graveyard
  Description

  In grassland on top of low rise of ground in upland area with good views in all directions. Castle (TS058-040----) 430m to NE and ringfort (TS058-041----) 195m to NE. Not visible at ground level. Described in the OS letters as an 'old church (TS058-060001-) which gave its name to the townland but its walls are now destroyed and grass and weeds are growing over their foundations, which are so effaced that the extent of the building could not be determined. The graveyard is no longer used as a cemetery. This is probably the Cill Churnain mentioned in the Pedigree of the O'Briens as the seat of the race of Torlogh O'Brien, Erenach of Emly' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 9). On the first (1840) edition OS 6-inch map a small circular enclosure around the church is depicted, this is no longer visible on the 1904 ed. OS 6-inch map suggesting that the enclosure was removed between 1840 and 1904. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-072 Moated site
  Description

  In level improved pasture. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map but visible as a roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 20m NE-SW; c. 10m NW-SE) on an aerial photograph (Bruff No. 5/2030). Not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-084 Barrow - unclassified
  Description

  In generally flat marshy terrain, in gently undulating ground. The land is quite hummocky to the W has a lot of reeds. The field to the E has been reclaimed. A large pond barrow (TS058-046----) is located 280m to the ENE and two ring-barrows (TS058-070001- and TS058-070002-) are located 200m to the E. The barrow (TS058-023002-) and standing stone (TS058-023004-) at Longstone are visible 1.7km to the NE. A raised earthen monument (diam. 16.5m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by a broad bank (Wth at base 3.7m; Wth at crest 1.5m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.05m) which is best preserved in the N-NE and almost reduced to scarp elsewhere. There is a slight, roughly circular raised area in the interior (dims. 5.8m N-S; 5.4m E-W; H 0.05m) which is off-centre towards the northern edge of the monument. A deep wide field ditch, running E-W, truncates the monument in the S quadrant. The E quadrant is similarly truncated by a field bank and ditch running N-S. A field ditch runs N-S along the external base of the bank in the W quadrant. In the N quadrant there is a wide, flat-bottomed depression (Wth 4.6m; D 0.3m) at the external base of the bank which may be an external fosse though the ground appears to be rising naturally northward, perhaps creating the appearance of a fosse.
