• LE024-021001 Church
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins with a small NE-SW stream c. 50m to the NW. This is the site of the parish church of Kiltubrid (of the well) or Kiltibrett as it is described on the Down Survey (1656-8) maps, for which see this web-page accessed on 13/01/2017: http://downsurvey.tcd.ie/down-survey-maps.php. As a part of the Muintir Eoluis territory it is in Ardagh diocese and may be of early origin as there was a church dedicated to St Patrick in the territory of Magh Nise in the 15th century and the dedication was changed to St Bridget through misinterpretation of the name (MacNamee 1954, 717). A leper hospital is recorded from the parish in 1590 but its location is not known (Logan 1970, 57). The parish church is in the Diocese of Ardagh, and the names of some of the clergy are known 1429-89 (MacNamee 718-9) and it was one of the seven churches united in the rectory of Muinter Eolais in 1472 (Scully 2019, 137). The church probably continued in use until St Brigid’s Church of Ireland church was built at Corglass c. 1.5km to the SW on the N shore of Lough Scur in 1785 (Lewis 1837, 2, 217). A single featureless wall (L 1.65m; H 4m; T 1m) from the NE angle of the church stands in the centre of a subrectangular or D-shaped graveyard (max. dims c. 45m NNW-SSE; c. 40m ENE-WSW) defined by masonry walls with the curved edge E-SSW. A modern mausoleum inside the N wall of the graveyard incorporates cut-stone fragments from the church, including pieces from a doorway with two attached orders indicating a thirteenth century date, and late medieval window mullions with hollow chamfers, glazing-grooves and bars. These pieces suggest that two periods of building are represented. A fragment of a cross-slab is described as ‘rectangular with an equal-armed cross in relief, 26.5cm by 27.3cm, with square expanded terminals and centre, the latter with a saltire cross’ (Herity et al. 1997, 105) and it is kept in the mausoleum structure. A tapering graveslab (L 0.78m; Wth 0.39-0.47m) with an incised ringed cross and excavated quadrants is built into the graveyard wall beside the mausoleum. There is a holy well dedicated to St Brigid (MacNamee 1954, 720) at the entrance to the lane from the W leading to the graveyard, which is conserved in cement with a canopy (dims 0.75m x 0.7m; H 0.8m). There is a record (Anon. 1937, 67) of memorials to O’Reilly and McMahon, which are probably 17th-century in date, but they are not now evident and may be preserved in the mausoleum structure. See the attached view from the Down Survey parish map (N at left) reproduced courtesy of the National Library of Ireland (Ms 717).

  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins with a small NE-SW stream c. 50m to the NW. The remains of the medieval parish church of Kiltubbrid (LE024-021001-) is at the centre of a subrectangular or D-shaped graveyard (max. dims c. 45m NNW-SSE; c. 40m ENE-WSW) defined by masonry walls with the curved edge E-SSW.

Memorials to O’Reilly and McMahon (LE024-021007-) also might be preserved within this structure as they are not evident in the graveyard. A medieval graveslab (LE024-021005-) is built into the N graveyard wall close to the structure. St Bridgid’s holy well (LE024-021003-) is c. 35m to the W at the entrance to the lane leading to the graveyard. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 13 January, 2017

• LE024-021003 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Situated in a low-lying position between drumlins with a small NE-SW stream c. 20m to the NW. St Bridgiet's holy well is at the entrance to the lane leading to Kiltubbrid graveyard (LE024-021002-) from the W, c. 35m from the gate. It is incorporated in a masonry pier (dims 1.3m x 0.5m; H 0.95) in the angle between the gate pier and a masonry wall. The rectangular opening (Wth 0.75m; H 0.75m) has a gate as the well behind (dims 0.75m x 0.6m) is deep (D 1.2m). There is no evidence of veneration.

  Description

• LE024-021006 Cross-slab
  Description

  A fragment of a cross-slab is described (Herity et al. 1997, 105) as ‘rectangular with an equal-armed cross in relief, 26.5cm by 27.3cm, with square expanded terminals and centre, the latter with a saltire cross’ and it is kept in the mausoleum structure inside the N wall of Kiltubbrid graveyard (LE024-021002-).

• LE024-021007 Graveslab
  Description

  There is a record of two memorials at Kiltubbrid graveyard (LE024-021002-), one with the arms of O’Reilly consisting of ‘two lions rampant supporting a dexter hand: Crest, an oak with a snake descending’ (Anon. 1937, 67). The other had the arms of McMahon of Monaghan ‘an ostrich holding a horse-shoe in its beak, two crossed swords, two rampant lions, supporters, and a dove. The motto is “Manus haec inimica tyrannis”’ (ibid.). The names recorded on the McMahon memorial were those of the brothers Bryan and Hugh McMahon. Bryan commanded the cavalry of Owen Roe O’Neill at the battle of Benburb in 1646, but Hugh was hanged at Tyburn sometime after 1641 so his remains are not present. Neither memorial can now be identified, unless they are in the mausoleum structure inside the N wall of the graveyard. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 13 January, 2017

• LE024-022001 House - 18th/19th century
  Description

  A Captain William Slack came to Ballinamore in 1693 and developed an iron industry there, which may have lasted until 1747 (Meehan 1925, 414-4). He moved to Kiltubbrid taking with him an iron fire-back with the date 1699, the only surviving product of the iron works. The house was later called Annadale, but according to the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage the present house is a small Georgian mansion dating from c. 1760, for which see this web-page accessed on 13/01/2017: http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?county=LE&name=&town=&townland=1037&type=quick&page=1
