• TS077-085 Church
  Description

  At the base of a N-facing slope in a small valley which runs E-W, within a graveyard (TS077-085001-), near the southern boundary. References to this church appear as early as 1210 and 1260 as 'Kilcronete' and 'Kilcronactan' respectively in the Pontificia Hibernica (Ó Cearbhaill 2007, 107). Futher references to 'Kilcrone' and 'Killcronyth' appear in the Papal Tax records and the diocesan records of Lismore in 1306 and 1499 respectively (ibid.) and from 1539-40 to 1615 it appears as various forms of Kilgrant in the Inquisitions of Tipperary, the Calendar of Fiants, the Irish patent rolls and the Royal Visitation records (ibid. 107-8). The Civil Survey (1654-6) refers to the 'Church of Killgrant' with one and a half acres of the three acres of glebeland being situated E of the church and fenced with a ditch (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 285). The nave (int. dims. c. 5.2m N-S; c. 8m E-W; wall T 0.7m; W wall int. H 0.58m; ext. H 0.55m) and chancel (int. dims. 4.8m E-W) church, aligned E-W, is defined by low walls overgrown with grass. Only a short length of upstanding wall survives, at the E end of the S wall of the nave, very badly overgrown with ivy. The church is divided by a cross-wall (T 0.7m). There is a possible entrance (Wth 1.3m) in the N wall of the nave. The OS Letters refer to a 'semicircular doorway constructed of chiselled red sandstone' (Wth 1.2m; H 1.9m) in part of the S wall, only 4.5m length of which then survived upstanding (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 147).

• TS077-085001 Graveyard
  Description

  At base of a N-facing slope in a small valley which runs E-W. Large, irrgularly shaped graveyard (dima. 66m N-S; 76m E-W) with church (TS077-085----) located near the southern boundary. Graveyard at junction of three roads. The surrounding fields are a mixture of pasture and tillage. The Civil Survey (1654-6) refers to the 'Church of Killgrant' with one and a half acres of the three acres of glebeland being situated E of the church and fenced with a ditch (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 285). The graveyard is occupied by mostly 18th, 19th and 20th-century headsones. The earliest visible dates to 1732 and is immediately S of the E end of the church. An overgrown vault is located immediately N of the chancel. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
