Recorded monuments

• MO029-024 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Situated on a slight rise in the valley of a small meandering N-S stream which curves around it c. 50-80m distant E-S. It is depicted as an oval embanked enclosure (ext. dims c. 35m E-W; c. 20m N-S) on the 1834 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as ‘Lisinabragh fort’ but this is transformed into a ‘Lisarolagh fort’ (Site of) on the 1907 edition. There is no evidence of a monument just W of a house. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 July 2007 No visible surface traces.

• MO029-031001 Church
  Description

  Situated on the S bank and in a loop of the NW-SE Faun River, with the stream c. 50m to the NE. A monastery was established here by St Daigh, whose origins are uncertain. He could be descended from Ceinéal Eoghain of Donegal, or in another account from the Déise of Meath or even the Ciannachta of Breagha. His Life, which may have been written under Augustinian influence, associates him with Clonmacnoise. Daigh was a renowned craftsman and died in AD 588 (Ó Riain 2011, 252-3). The names of many abbots are recorded in the annals down to AD 930, while erenachs are mentioned down to AD 1085 (Shirley 1879, 382-90). The monastery was burned in AD 789, plundered in AD 948 and burned again in AD 1166 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 37-8). Thereafter it became a parish church and is recorded in the ecclesiastical taxation (1302-06) of Pope Nicholas IV as Deynisdega (Deynifdega) (Cal. doc. Ire. 5, 212). The names of some of the clergy are known from 1530, and the church was described as ruinous in 1622, by which time the tithes were impropriate to the abbey of Louth (LH011-115005-). The present Church of Ireland church, now closed, was constructed in 1854 (Leslie 1929, 208-210), at which time a prehistoric cist (MO029-031005-) was discovered (Reade 1855). (McKenna 1920, 1, 402-17) The round tower (RO029-031002-) was described (Reade 1855, 376-7) as having a circumference of ‘51 feet (ext. diam. c. 4.85m) and survives to a height of 42 feet (c. 12.8m)’. The rebuilt lintelled doorway is 4.1m off the ground and faces SE. Debris in the interior was cleared to 0.75m below ground level in 1973 (Barrow 1979, 172-3). The tower had three internal floors according to Reade, but only two levels of internal corbels survive (ibid.). No trace of the medieval church remains, apart from one piece of a window surround with a glazing-groove, although some cut stones are said to have been built into the fabric of the present structure, which is within a sub-triangular graveyard (max. dims c. 70m N-S; c. 65m E-W) defined by masonry walls and with a right-angle at the SW. There are three mausoleums in a N-S line SE of the church (N: ext. dims 6.55m E-W; 4.3m N-S; central: 6.55m E-W; 4.55m N-S; S: 5.25m plus N-S; 4.4m E-W) now visible just as the base of the walls (T 0.6m; H 0.5-1.5m). The N and central ones have doorways (Wth 0.95m) on the W side with external rebates, and the central one, which is structurally the earliest, probably had the inscription, now missing, commemorating Ardell Mac Coll Mac Mahon with the date 1672 (Bradshaw 1888, 225).

• MO029-031002 Round tower
  Description

  The round tower at Inishkeen was described (Reade 1855, 376-7) as having a circumference of ‘51 feet (ext. diam. c. 4.85m) and survives to a height of 42 feet (c. 12.8m)’. The rebuilt lintelled doorway is 4.1m off the ground and faces SE. Debris in the interior was cleared to 0.75m below ground level in 1973 (Barrow 1979, 172-3).

• MO029-031003 Mausoleum
  Description

  There are three mausoleums in a N-S line SE of the present Church of Ireland church, now closed, in the Inishkeen graveyard (MO029-031004-). They are now visible as just the base of the walls (T 0.6m; H 0.5-1.5m). The N and central ones (N: ext. dims 6.55m E-W; 4.3m N-S; central: 6.55m E-W; 4.55m N-S; S: 5.25m plus N-S; 4.4m E-W) have doorways (Wth 0.95m) on the W side with external rebates, and the central one, which is structurally the earliest, probably had the inscription, now missing, with the date 1672 (Shirley 1879, 387; Bradshaw 1888, 225).

• MO029-031004 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated on the S bank in a loop of the NW-SE Faun River, with the stream c. 50m to the NE. The round tower (MO029-021002-) together with the sites of St. Daeg’s early church and the medieval parish church of Inishkeen (MO029-031001-) are within a sub-triangular graveyard (max. dims c. 70m N-S; c. 65m E-W) defined by masonry walls and with a right-angle at the SW. The three mausoleums (ME029-031003-) are in a line just SE of the present church building. A gradiometer survey (17R0133) by J. M. Leigh in the playing field just to the S was dominated by modern disturbance and no archaeological features were recognised.
