Recorded monuments
- DU023-013001 Church
Description
Situated in a flat urban site to the NE of the junction of Carrickbrennan Road and Mounttown Road Upper. The W gable of the medieval church of Carrickbrennan is incorporated into a 17th century charnel-house (Turner 1983, 28-29). The entrance doorway in the W gable is blocked, it has a round-arch with a dropped keystone under a hood-moulding of sandstone. Above the doorway is a wide round arched window with a granite sill. This medieval building occupies the location of an earlier site associated with the 6th century St. Mochonna, who was attached to the early monastery of Hompatrick, Skerries (Ball 1902, 41). It was held as the chapel of Carrickbrennnan by St. Mary's Abbey in the 12th-13th centuries. After the dissolution of St. Mary's, the church and tithes were given to Sir John Travers. In 1668 Sir Edward Corker re-built the church for the parish, and further works took place in the 19th century (Turner 1983, 28-29). The church is located within the walled graveyard (DU023-013002-) which contains 18th and 19th century memorials. Compiled by: Geraldine Stout and Padraig Clancy Revised upload on: 22 May 2018
