• LE025-056 Enclosure
  Description

  Located in pasture towards the bottom of the S-facing slope of a drumlin and c. 40m from the N shore of Gardice Lough. It is depicted as a small, irregularly shaped enclosure (dims c. 15m x c. 10m) and described in gothic lettering as a 'fort' on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. It was described in 1943 as a small enclosure (diam. c. 12m E-W; c. 12m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth c. 1.5m; H 0.2-0.5m) (OSFM). It is no longer visible at ground level. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).

• 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.

• 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

• LE025-058007 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-).

H 1.3-2.6m) with trees and an external fosse (Wth of top 2.5-3.5m; Wth of base 0.8m; D 0.8m).
