Extensively damaged in 1601 during siege of Kinsale; temporary chapel erected 1633 but abandoned 1653 (Gillan and Hurley 1978, 33); convent 'was existing c. 1737' (Gwynn and Hadcock ibid) and the Prior made Town almoner in 1741 (Mulcahy 1968, 12).

- CO112-034001 Historic town
Description
On or near site of early Christian monastery (CO112-085----); established as trading post by Vikings (Jefferies 1986, 34) and settled by Anglo-Normans c. 1200 (Garner 1980, 1). Received first charter relatively late in 1333-4; murage grant to repair town walls in 1348 (CO112-03402-); market grant of 1226 seems to confirm presence of town at that date (Thomas 1992, 138). Town was 'of little importance throughout the medieval period' (Garner ibid) but featured in siege during Battle of Kinsale in 1601 (Mulcahy 1968, 54-67). Town's defences strengthened in 17th century by construction of James Fort (CO112-036---) in 1604 and Charles Fort in 1670 (CO125-007---),but taken by Williamite forces in 1690 (Mulcahy ibid, 30) when much damage done to town walls. The town continued to grow and prosper to some extent in 18th and 19th centuries, with a heavy reliance on the fishing industry (Gillen and Hurley 1978, 11).

- CO112-034002 Town defences
Description
Town of Kinsale given 1st charter in 1333-4 which states that 'the walls are ruinous, and the burgesses not able to repair them'; possibly walled from mid-13th century; murage grant to repair walls in 1348 (Thomas 1992,138). Walls probably battlemented with internal rampart, external fosse, c.15 towers; 4 gates and internal gate Upper town, 2 in Base town (Thomas ibid). Damaged during Battle of Kinsale in 1601 (Mulcahy 1968, 17); according to Lewis (1837, vol. 2, 234), town walls largely destroyed during siege of 1690, though subject to some repairs in 18th century (McSwiney 1938, 82-5 & 92-3). Three remaining gates removed by 1805 (Lewis ibid). McSwiney (ibid., 81) traces layout of walls which enclosed what Bradley (1985, 452) describes as 'forked-linear' street pattern. Thomas (ibid) suggests that walling of Base town, which continues linear pattern to SE, may be later, possibly late 16th century. At most, only fragmentary remains of town's defences survive above ground level (McSwiney ibid, 92); according to Thomas (ibid., 137) 'much of N wall survives in reduced form as a field boundary ... no other remains'.

Description
Roughly oval graveyard (c. 80m E-W; c. 60m N-S) surrounding St. Multose church (CO112-03405-), enclosed by high stone wall; however 1842 OS 6-inch map shows graveyard largely unenclosed. Gate has 'fine piers of channelled ashlar' (Garner 1980, 13) of late 18th century date with 'particularly handsome' wrought-iron gates. Contains many 'dog-kennel' mausoleums; one large early 18th century mausoleum with ' cornice, cemented walls and slated roof' (ibid). Grave slab on Webb vault near S wall dated 1582 (Darling 1895, 29); altar tomb against S wall dated 1670 (ibid, 41); numerous other vaults, chest tombs and uninscribed headstones. In occasional use.

- CO112-034005 Church
Description
In Kinsale; C of I parish church of St. Multose, 'one of the few medieval parish churches in Ireland still in use' (Leask 1966, vol. 2, 149-50). Rectangular nave and chancel, once separated by a chancel arch taken down in 1730 (Darling 1895, 16). Nave aisled; N aisle continues to near end of chancel; transept to N in line with easternmost bay of nave. Tower rises over W end of N aisle. On S side of nave aisle, fragmentary remains of 16th century 'Galway Chapel'. Though much altered, church remains, according to Leask (ibid) 'in extent and plan, as when first built in the early thirteenth century'. He dates this early phase 'on the evidence of one transitional pointed window-head' (ibid), rebuilt over door in N wall of tower. However, group of three lancets in W wall are 'apparently of mid-century (i.e. 13th) date', otherwise the windows are 'less certainly dateable'. Church much altered 1730 and again 1759-60, but major renovations, including replacing N nave and chancel arcade and complete re-roofing, took place 1835-7; 'sweeping alterations' again made 1856-8 (Darling ibid, 16-9). Chancel given new ceiling in 1951 (Garner 1980, 11). During re-flooring of nave in 1858 many 'stone coffins' were found 'made of two flags placed parallel, with one at head and another at feet; a series of thin slabs over all for a cover'; burials were thought to be 'ecclesiastics' from the 'ornaments found with some of them' (Darling ibid.,19-20). Other items of interest include rectangular font with spiral shaft; statue of cleric with pastoral staff in niche over W door. Church also contains an interesting collection of 16th, 17th and 18th century grave slabs, memorials and plaques (Darling ibid, 27-43; Garner ibid, 12); including tombstone of Jacobus Galwey dated 1627 (rubbing Caulfield & Darling 1895-7, facing 47); tombstone of William Galwey dated 1628 (rubbing ibid, facing 46); and monuments to Katherine Percival (dated 1682) and Robert and Helena Southwell (dated 1679), this latter has 'an unusual sarcophagus surmounted by an urn' (Potterton 1975, 90).

- CO112-034006 Castle - tower house
Description
On the NW side of Cork Street, on rising ground overlooking the historic town of Kinsale. This 3-storey tower house was built as a town residence by the Fitzgerald family, whose arms are over the door, hence why it is known as 'Desmond Castle' (Healy 1988, 247; Gillen and Hurley 1978, 29). It is one of around 40 'urban tower houses' that survive in Ireland (Heritage Castles of County Cork 2017, 89). It was apparently owned by a William Baines in 1581 (Coleman 1912, 133), but functioned as a magazine in 1601 (Gillen and Hurley ibid) where weapons and gunpowder were stored during the Spanish occupation of the town ahead of the Battle of Kinsale. It was subsequently used as a prison for foreign captives - and is therefore also sometimes known as the 'French Prison' -, many of whom died in the fire of 1747 (O'Sullivan 1905, 10). It was the borough jail in 1791-1846. It was declared a National Monument in 1938 and restored by the OPW. A photograph of the tower in the early 20th century (Coleman 1912, opp. p 133) shows the gable over the 2nd floor facing the street, now replaced by battlements; other recent repairs include the removal of rendering and the replacement of missing mullions as well as the blocking of ground floor windows. The central ground floor door has a pointed arch, and a hood moulding with floriated stops; the door may be an insertion (Harbison 1970 (reprint 1992), 80). The two central 1st floor windows have ogee heads (cusped to left) divided by mullion and transome; similar windows, but with rounded arches, are set at corner angles. There is a single central window at the 2nd floor level, a rectangular light divided by mullion and transome. All lights have hood mouldings overhead. There is a string course between ground and 1st floors. This is a National Monument in State Ownership (no. 360).
