Recorded monuments

• KD019-009 Cist
  Description

  Two cists were found; one (KD019-009----), was uncovered c. 1870 and was described by Fitzgerald (1909-11, 104) as a 'slab-lined chamber which contained a skeleton'. The second (KD019-058----), discovered in the same general area in 1982, was excavated by Manning (1985-6, 484-91). Both cists were in the immediate vicinity of the site of a possible church (KD019-026001-), graveyard (KD019-026002-) and enclosure (KD019-026003-). Near the S end of a narrow but moderately steep-sided pasture ridge with a commanding view over the surrounding countryside. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD019-026001 Church
  Description

  According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 23 (67)), 'There was also an old Church (in Haynestown), of which there is not a vestige now remaining. The graveyard (KD019-026002-) in which it stood, has a burial ground fallen into disuse.' Synnott (1899-1902, 455) suggests it may have stood near the 'Castle' (KD019-027----) and may have been 'the Capella de Higginstown'; a church mentioned in a 1637 list (Comerford 1883, 259). Near the S end of a narrow but moderately steep-sided pasture ridge. There is no visible trace of the church. Two cist burials (KD019-009---- and KD019-058----) were previously discovered in the immediate vicinity. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD019-026002 Graveyard
  Description

  According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 23 (67)), 'The graveyard in which (the church, KD019-026001-) stood, has a burial ground fallen into disuse.' In 1939, Price (1935-45, 198-9) noted at least ten skeletons, orientated E-W and without grave goods, which had just been discovered in a sand-pit there. The pit was subsequently filled in and the ground surface levelled, and there are no visible surface traces of the graveyard, which may have lain in a ecclesiastical enclosure (KD019-026003-). Near the S end of a narrow but moderately steep-sided pasture ridge. Two cist burials (KD019-0009---- and KD019-058----) were also discovered in the immediate vicinity.

• KD019-026003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Although not recorded on the 1838 or 1939 eds. of the OS 6-inch map, a 1908 OS 25-inch map shows an oval area (est. diams. c. 45m N-S; c. 35m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank. Near the S end of a narrow but moderately steep-sided pasture ridge, and containing a possible church site (KD019-026001-) and a graveyard (KD019-026002-). No visible surface trace survives. Two cist burials (KD019-0009---- and KD019-058----) were also discovered in the immediate vicinity. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011

• KD019-027 Bawn
  Description

  Near the top of a short, moderately steep, SE-facing slope in improved pasture. The foundation walls of a rectangular bawn (dims. L c. 50m; Wth c. 25m) containing the foundation walls of a building were noted in 1940 (SMR File). While no surface traces of these features survive, the remains of a gateway still stand at the SW corner. This is a round-arched, rectangular masonry structure (Wth 2.57m; H 3.46m) with bolt/hinge sockets on each side, inside the outer ashlar jambs. There is an internal flat arch, which is pierced by a small hole (dims. L 0.3m; Wth 0.2m), possibly a murder hole, on the underside of which wicker centring is visible. A very short length (L 0.73m) of the W wall of the bawn extends N from the gateway. The monument is leaning uphill, c. 10 degrees away from the vertical.

• KD019-058 Cist
  Description

  Near the S end of a narrow but moderately steep-sided pasture ridge with a commanding view over the surrounding countryside. Two cists were found; one (KD019-009----), described by Fitzgerald (1909-11, 104) as a 'slab-lined chamber which contained a skeleton' was uncovered c. 1870. The second (KD019-058----) was discovered in the same general area in 1982 and was excavated by Manning (1985-6, 484-91). A short, rectangular cist, of four upright flags, orientated N-S (dims L 0.68m; Wth 0.56m; H 0.55m) and floored with a single slab was uncovered during land improvement works. It contained the cremated remains of at least seven individuals (four adults, a child and two infants) and a Queen Scallop shell. The cist survives, protected by wooden fencing.
