• LE025-049 Enclosure
  Description

  Situated in bushes on a N-S spit of gravel at the W end of Gardice Lough, and c. 50m S of where the Ballinamore-Ballyconnel canal enters the lake. It is indicated as a small feature on the 1907 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 8.5m) is defined by a spread of stones (Wth c. 1.5m) but it does not have an entrance and it might not be artificial. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

• LE025-058001 Church
  Description

  Located on a slight E-W rise towards the bottom of an E-facing slope on the W shore of a bottle-shaped bay (dims c. 900m N-S; c. 200m E-W at S to c. 450m E-W at N) on the N side of Gardice Lough. The site of the medieval parish church of Drumreilly or Drumybeallaich – ridge of the eastern road - is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls. There are documentary references from the early 15th century (Seymour 1935; Earley and Boyle 1999) when the rectory of Cinel Luachain, which may have been formed from the ancient tuath of the Masraige in Magh Sleacht and which consisted of the parishes of Oughteragh (LE025-008001-) and Drumreilly, was disputed between Gelasious (Giolla Íosa) O’Mulmochery and Luke O’Rodaghan in 1410. The former may have been from a family of hereditary erenachs of a forgotten monastery of Drumreilly, while the latter was a member of the erenach family of the ancient monastery of Fenagh (LE025-096001-). The dispute continued throughout the century amongst their families. The most likely origin of the Ó Maolmochéirghe family is from the Cairpre Mór of north Leitrim in the ninth century (MacCotter 2019, 73), and the large estate attached to Drumreilly church, amounting to twelve townlands, can be distinguished as Church or cross land on the Down Survey (1656-8) parish map (ibid. 75). The present Church of Ireland church of Drumreilly was built in 1737 by William Gore (Lewis 1837, vol. 1, 520) and may incorporate some medieval fabric. Two corbels with carved heads in the W gable could be in their original position and there is a base-batter in the E wall. The carved head of a bishop and a grotesque mouth-pulling carved head are built into the outer face of the E gable. The base of a finial cross, and a window mullion with part of the head of a two-light ogee-headed window of fifteenth century date area kept in the present church. There is a tapering graveslab (Wth 0.47m at W to 0.53m at E; L 1.63m plus) with a legend carved in false relief in the graveyard, N of the E end of the church. The legend is in English and carved in roman capitals, but it is illegible. However, it could be seventeenth century in date. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revised upload: 6 July 2017

• LE025-058002 Graveyard
  Description

  Located on a slight E-W rise towards the bottom of an E-facing slope on the W shore of a bottle-shaped bay (dims c. 900m N-S; c. 200m E-W at S to c. 450m E-W at N) on the N side of Gardice Lough. The site of the medieval parish church of Drumreilly or Drumybeallaich (LE025-058001-) is within a subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls. Evidence of the church is present in the form of stone heads built into the outer faces of the E and W walls of the present Church of Ireland church, and dressed stones from windows kept inside it. A graveslab (LE025-058004-) N of the E end of the church could be seventeenth century in date. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 July, 2017

• LE025-058003 Stone sculpture
  Description

  Two corbels with carved heads from the medieval church are probably in their original position high on the outer face of the W gable of the present Church of Ireland church of Drumreilly. The carved head of a bishop and a grotesque mouth-pulling carved head are built into the outer face of the E gable. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 July, 2017

• LE025-058004 Graveslab
  Description

  There is a tapering graveslab (Wth 0.47m at W to 0.53m at E; L 1.63m plus) with a legend carved in false relief in the graveyard, N of the E end of Drumrielly church (LE025-057001-). The legend is in English and carved in roman capitals, but it is illegible. However, it could be seventeenth century in date. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 July, 2017

• LE025-058005 Architectural fragment
  Description

  The base of a finial cross (LE025-058006-), and a window mullion with part of the head of a two-light ogee-headed window of fifteenth century date area kept in the present Church of Ireland church of Drumreilly. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 July, 2017

• LE025-058006 Cross
  Description

  The base of a finial cross, and a window mullion with part of the head of a two-light ogee-headed window of fifteenth century date (LE025-058005-) are kept in the present Church of Ireland church of Drumreilly. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 6 July, 2017

• LE025-058007 Hospital
  Description

  A hospital, which may have been a guest-house for poor travellers, at Drumerbalaid (Drumreilly) was described in 1479 as so poorly funded that it could not be maintained alone and should be united with the rectory (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 350, 382; Earley and Boyle 1999, 110). The location of the hospital is unknown and it might be anywhere within the parish, although probably close to the parish church (LE025-058001-).

• LE025-060001 Church
  Description

  Situated on Church Island in Garadice Lough. This is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 14.55m E-W; 7.05m N-S; int. dims 12.7m E-W; 5.1m N-S at W to 5.25m N-S at E), with dressed sandstone quoins and reveals to the embrasures, which survives almost complete (H 3-4m), except for portions of the S wall. There is a destroyed doorway in the W wall and cupboards towards the E end of the N wall and towards the S end of the E wall. There is a cusped two-centre headed window (Wth 0.22m; H 0.65m) in the E wall and a pointed light (Wth 0.1m; H 0.63m) towards the E end of the S wall with the E side of another window embrasure further W. The W end of the structure and most of the N and S walls, including its surviving light, are of thirteenth century date but the E wall and its window were constructed in the fifteenth century. There is a tradition of a burial place reserved for O’Rourke (OS Name Book), but there is no evidence of an enclosure or of burial. A bullaun stone (dims 0.9m x 0.8m; H c. 0.3m plus) with a single basin (diam. 0.4m x 0.45m; D 0.25m) is situated c. 120m N of the church (Byrne 1997, 8). Some conservation work had been conducted on the church in 2005-07 with support from the American-based Everan foundation (Earley 2005), but when the monument was inspected in May 2013, the very fine 15th-century window in the E gable wall was found to have been robbed out. However, after a Facebook campaign it was soon recovered and re-instated. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revised upload: 6 July 2017

  Description
