• TS067-016 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In pasture, at edge of field, adjacent railway track. Rectangular well (Wth c. 1-1.10m; L 2m; D c. 1-1.1m) defined by random rubble stone wall with break in S-side where four steps lead down into the well from field level. Railway wall (H c. 2m) built atop N wall of well. Inlet in E side of well allows flow of water inwards from small stream; present water level c. 0.05m. Various religious objects hang from both the railway wall and the adjacent thorn trees. According to the OS Namebook (O'Donovan 1840) 'Sunday's Well = "Tobar Righ an Domhnaigh" = "Well of the King of the Sabbath or Lord's day": so called from persons resorting to it on Sundays for the cure of diseases which property it is said to have'. In the past the Rosary was recited at the well (OS Field Memorandums). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS067-037 Church
  Description

  On the top of a broad flat ridge, the ground falls to the S beyond the graveyard and is surrounded by pasture. A ruinous 19th-century church is located at the base of the slope to the S. The medieval church is mentioned in the Register of the Hospital of St. John the Bapist without the New Gate, Dublin in 1292/3 and 1319, in the Papal Taxation records of c. 1302 and c. 1306 and in the features in the Extents of Irish Monastic Possessions in 1541 (Ó Cearbhaill 2007, 248-9). It is a rectangular structure (dims 14.7m E-W; 5.5m N-S) composed of limestone and sandstone rubble, roughly coursed, with a substantial buttress along the length of the W gable (H 2m; Wth at base 0.9m). Only the W gable (T 1m; ext. L 6.1m - the NW angle is missing), the W length of the S wall (ext. L 6.5m; H 1.5-2.5m) and the E gable with the return of the N (ext. L 2.2m) and S wall (ext. L c. 2m) survive, though all are heavily ivy clad. The church was entered through a doorway, now gone, W of centre in the S wall. Lying close to the entrance is a limestone door jamb with an external chamfer. There is a square stoup in a recess in the thickness of the S wall (T 0.9m) to the W as the church was entered. There are two visible surviving windows, a two-light ogee-headed window in the E gable and a single-light window, much obsured by ivy, at the W end of the S wall. At the N end of the E wall there is a piscina. The wall W of this has collapsed but the OS Letters (1840) describe a much broken-out window opening immediately W of the piscina (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 111 (304-5)).

• TS067-037001 Graveyard
  Description

  On the top of a broad flat ridge, the ground falls to the S beyond the graveyard and is surrounded by pasture. The Civil Survey 1654-56 refers to the glebeland of the church as being located 'by the Church yard' (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 27, 367). The graveyard was originally enclosed by an earthen scarp (H 1.3m), only the SE sector of which survives, extending 34m E-W and 24m N-S. The OS Letters (1840) state that the graveyard was not enclosed by a wall, so the present stone wall enclosing the rectangular graveyard to the N, E and W and projecting southward (dims 32m N-S; 36m E-W) to enclose an area around the 19th century C of I church, post-dates 1840 (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 112 ((307)). The medieval church is located in the NE quadrant of the graveyard (dims. 30-35m N-Sl; 54m E-W) which 18th century headstones to S of church, 18th and 19th century headstones to the S and W of church and large mid-19th century obolisk to the SW. 1844-61, all Low family Kilshane. 19th century church has been built at base of graveyard slope to S, now in ruins. The latest headstones date to 2002 and are located in the S and SW quadrant of the graveyard, however, there are very few 20th and 21st headstones, the vast majority being of 19th century date. A bullaun stone ((TS061-178----) found in Kilshane is currently housed in the folk museum in Cashel. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS067-058 Castle - unclassified
  Description

  Within impenetrable coniferous forestry, on top of SE end of ridge within Kilshane Demesne. According to the Civil Survey (1654-6), ‘On the lands of Swyfine in the s[ai]d. Parish [Killshane] stands a castle in good repayre’ (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 27). The OS Letters (1840) description mentions, ‘a small portion of a stone wall….on the summit of the hill, belongs to a Castle that formerly stood here and was called Caislean Suidh Finn, that is the Castle of Seefin. This portion stands near the northern extremity on the top and is twelve feet [c. 3.65m] long running from east to west and in the middle on the south side is four and a half feet [c. 1.36m] high from the present surface of the ground. At the east end two feet [c. 0.6mm] of the present length (twelve feet) rise only one and a half feet [c. 0.45m] over the surface of the ground on the south side and two feet [c. 0.6m] at the west end, only one foot [c. 0.3m]. This south side of the wall is much injured, the stones being all removed out of the surface which renders it impossible to ascertain the original breadth. The present breadth at east end does not exceed four feet [c. 1.2m]. The surface of the wall on north side remains uninjured, at which side it encloses the south end of the oblong apparently excavation, which measures on east and west sides fourteen feet [c. 4.3m] and on north side eight feet [c. 2.4m] and is sunk about seven feet [c. 2.1m] below the surface of the ground, which added four feet [c. 1.2m], the height of the wall on south side, make its height on north side to be eleven feet [c. 3.3m]. It cannot be easily distinguished now whether this hollow be the space occupied by the Castle, which in this case must have been a small structure, or a space taken up in some apartment belonging to it. An ash tree growing within it and overtopping the wall in the present state, embraces nearly the whole space with its spreading branches. Briars and nettles are seen growing in the north end. It cannot be ascertained by a person standing over this hollow whether the sides and north end are built in it with mason work or not. In the east side are seen large stones apparently in a natural position. There was no means of descending into it and ascending back when the collector of these notices was on the ground. The north surface of the wall that remains here indicates that the castle was well constructed and a strong building. The stone used in the erection of it seems to be the same kind with that exposed to view in the north east extremity of the hill, where there was, it appears, a quarry worked some time ago. The cement used was lime and sand mortar with grouting. Near this spot and at the eastern base of the hill is a clump of wall, the same in all appearance, with respect to materials, as the Castle wall above noticed. This either fell from the ruins of the old building on the summit and rolling along the declivity on this side, rested here in its present position, or perhaps, belonged to a wall that was built on the ascent from the base to the top and joined the Castle there’ (O’Flanagan 1931, vol. 2, 112-14 (308-12). Access was not gained (July 2006). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 June 2014

Rectangular area (dims.c. 20m N-S; c. 16m E-W) defined by stone wall (H 1.25m) (rendered).

Unknown if other burials exist below present ground level. Kilshane Estate once owned by landlord by name of Lowe during the 18th century and passed to the Holy Ghost Order thereafter who remained here until c. 20 years ago. Note possible grave marker c. 15m due N of burial ground in garden area, beside large rotary quern stone. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS067-122002 Burial
  Description

  At W end of natural esker ridge which extends roughly E-W. The ridge is locally known as the 'hill of the skull'. The W end of the ridge has been scarped to form an irregular earthwork (TS067-122001-). Portion of this earthwork now forms part of the railway embankment along the N side of the railway line which runs E-W immediately S of the earthwork. The S portion of the earthwork has been transected by a roadway which runs parallel to the railway line. Earth removal along the railway embankment and the excavation of a ditch on the S side of the road where it cuts through the earthwork revealed human bones. Flynn (1913, 18-20) equates the townland of Cleghile, together with the neighbouring townlands of Corrogemore and Corrogebeg with the early medieval area known as Cnamchoill. At Cnamchoill a battle took place between Brian Boru and the Danes, he suggests that this battlefield (TS067-096----) is at Cleghile (ibid.). He mentions that 'Bones are still dug up in Cleghile occasionally - the skeletons of "very tall men" (ibid.). The relationship between the burials and the possible battlefield has not been established. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
