• TS083-012 Church
  Description

  On a S-facing gentle slope, with River Suir c. 200m to S, in undulating pasture. Mentioned in Papal Chancery documents in 1210 and 1260 as 'Kilholouan' and 'Killoluwam' respectively, in the Papal Tax records in c. 1306 as 'Kildolowan' and in the Calendar of Papal Registers in 1497 as 'Kylolohan' (Ó Cearbhaill 2007, 211). The medieval church is mentioned in the Civil Survey of 1654-6 as 'a little Church unroofed' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 283). The church itself is on the S side of a square-shaped graveyard (TS83-012001-). There is a large, derelict and roofless C of I church 4.5m N of the medieval church, described as 'a new Church' in the OS Letters, c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 147). The medieval church is rectangular (int. dims. 4.8m N-S; max. surviving length 14.7m E-W; wall T 0.9m; H above int. 1.7-1.8m N and S wall respectively) constructed of sandstone and limestone rubble, roughly coursed. It is badly overgrown with ivy leaving little masonry visible. The quoins at the NE angle have collapsed, and the E wall does not survive but is delineated by a low rubble line (H 0.8m) from its collasped masonry. The W wall is completely destroyed, with no trace of its original position. A single-light window at the E end of the S wall has sandstone surrounds, though only three lower W jambs with an external chamfer survive. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 146) there was an E window with sandstone surrounds, though its form could not be discerned due to heavy ivy growth.
