• RO007-086 Earthwork
  Description

  Marked as a small circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 15m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the E shore of a bay (max. dims c. 800m N-S; c. 500m E-W) at the SE angle of Lough Eidin. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO007-087001 Church
  Description

  The church was dedicated to and probably founded by St Eidin or Éadaoin, a holy woman whose genealogy connects her through her father, Lighean, to the Uí Briúin of Connaught, and her feast occurs on July 5th (Ó Riain 2011, 279). Nothing else is known of her life, but the death of the priest Mulkieran O'Lenaghan, described as ‘a noble priest of Tuam-mna’, is recorded in 1249 while he was travelling to Ardcarne (AFM vol. 3, 333). The parish church of Tumna is listed as Thuanna in the ecclesiastical taxation of Elphin in 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire. vol. 5, 224). It is situated at the bottom of the N-facing slope of a drumlin c. 80m from the S bank of the Boyle River linking Lough Eidin to the River Shannon, which is c. 600m to the E. A rectangular graveyard (RO007-087002-) (dims 35m E-W; 22.5m N-S) is defined by masonry walls and contains a church (RO007-084001-) at W, a smaller church to the S (RO007-084005-) which may be post-medieval, and a saints grave or shrine (RO007-084004-), but there is now no visible evidence of a surrounding ecclesiastical enclosure (RO007-087003-) mentioned by Wakeman (1887-8, 107). However, a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority in 2012 and interpreted by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin confirms the existence of this enclosure (dims c. 130m E-W; c. 100m N-S) centred on the graveyard. Further magnetic gradiometry and earth resistance surveys concentrating within the ecclesiastical enclosure but extending outside it to the S confirmed its perimeter S-SW. The surveys also recorded a subrectangular area enclosing the graveyard but defined by stony features to the W and N, which might indicate the original extent of that feature (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE). Numerous plots (dims c. 50m x c. 20m) defined by stony linear features were noted in the area N and NE of the graveyard, and these correspond closely to boundaries visible on the LiDAR images. The plots are confined to the area within the ecclesiastical enclosure but the area S of the graveyard is rather barren and may have suffered greater agricultural disturbance. In addition two parallel lines of high resistance features, indicating stone features placed c. 7-14m apart (L c. 40m) extend NE from a well that is marked on the 1914 edition of the OS 6-inch map (Curran 2015, 8-11). The larger church is a rectangular structure (int. dims c. 13.5m E-W; 6.96m N-S) whose walls (T 0.95m; max. H 3m) survive at E but are obscured by a cairn of rubble at W, the only feature being an aumbry (Wth 0.63m; H 0.34m; D 0.32m) towards the E end of the S wall. The smaller church is a rectangular structure (int. dims 4m E-W; 2.75m N-S) whose walls (T 0.55m) are almost complete with destroyed rectangular windows at the E end of the S wall and in the E wall. The destroyed doorway (Wth 1.13m) is at the W end of the S wall and there is an aumbry (Wth 0.4m; H 0.45m; D 0.24m) at the E end of the N wall. A stone altar (L 1.26m; Wth 0.75m; H 0.7m) is against the inner face of the E wall. The saint's tomb is a low altar-like rectangular structure (dims 1.5m N-S; 0.7m E-W) defined by upright limestone side-stones surmounted by a large flat slab. Local tradition regards this feature as the tomb of St. Eiden, but it has been mistaken for a megalithic tomb (Borlase 1897, vol. 1, 197).

• RO007-087002 Graveyard
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of the N-facing slope of a drumlin c. 80m from the S bank of the Boyle River linking Lough Eidin to the River Shannon c. 600m to the E. The graveyard (dims 35m E-W; 22.5m N-S) is defined by a masonry wall and contains a church (RO007-084001-) at W, a smaller church or oratory to the S (RO007-084005-), which may be post-medieval, and a saints grave or shrine (RO007-084004-). Magnetic gradiometry and earth resistance surveys concentrating within the ecclesiastical enclosure but extending outside it to the S recorded a subrectangular area enclosing the graveyard but defined by stony features to the W and N, which might indicate its original extent (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE).

• RO007-087003 Ecclesiastical enclosure
  Description

  Situated at the bottom of the N-facing slope of a drumlin c. 80m from the S bank of the Boyle River linking Lough Eidin to the River Shannon c. 600m to the E. Wakeman (1887-8, 107) records that the church of Tumna (RO007-087001-) is surrounded by circular wall of earth and stone which was just traceable. Nothing of this feature can be seen now, but the existence of this enclosure (dims c. 130m E-W; c. 100m N-S) centred on the graveyard has been confirmed by a LiDAR survey dataset commissioned by Leitrim County Council and the National Roads Authority, which was interpreted by Susan Curran as part of an M.A. thesis with University College Dublin. Further magnetic gradiometry and earth resistance surveys concentrating within the ecclesiastical enclosure but extending outside it to the S confirmed its perimeter S-SW. In addition numerous plots (dims c. 50m x c. 20m) defined by stony linear features were noted in the area N and NE of the graveyard, and these correspond closely to boundaries visible on the LiDAR images. The plots are confined to the area within the ecclesiastical enclosure but the area S of the graveyard is rather barren and may have suffered greater agricultural disturbance.

• RO007-087004 Shrine
  Description

  Within the graveyard (RO007-087002) and just E of the church (RO007-087001-). This is a low altar-like rectangular structure (dims 1.5m N-S, 0.7m E-W) consisting of upright limestone sidestones, surmounted by a large flat slab. Local tradition regards this feature as the tomb of St. Eiden, but it was mistaken for a megalithic tomb (Borlase 1897, vol. 1, 197). (O Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 121-2; D'Alton 1845, 117; Wakeman 1887-8, 107-11) See the attached sketch and plan of St. Eiden's Grave from Wakeman (1887-8, 109).

• RO007-087005 Church
  Description

  Just to the south of the larger church (RO007-087001-) within the graveyard (RO007-087002-). Rectangular structure (int. dims 4m E-W; 2.75m N-S) surviving in good condition with gables intact. The walls (Wth 0.56m) are of coursed, mortared limestone masonry with broken-out window opes at the E end of the S wall and in the E wall. The doorway opening (Wth 1.13m) is at the W end of the S wall and there is an aumbry niche (Wth 0.4m; H 0.45m; D 0.24m) at the E end of the N wall. A stone altar (RO007-087006-) (L 1.26m; Wth 0.75m; H 0.7m) is against the interior of the E wall. Its good condition suggest it is later in date than the main church. (O' Flanagan, 1931, vol. 1, 121-2; D'alton 1845, 117; Wakeman 1887-8, 107-11) See the attached views of the altar (003) and general views from SW (004) and SE (005).

• RO007-088 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  Depicted as a circular embanked enclosure on the 1837 (ext. diam. c. 30m) ed. and as a D-shaped feature (dims c. 25m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE) slightly truncated by a NE-SW road at NW and a NW-SE field boundary at NE on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. it is situated on top of a low rise. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dim. c. 24m NW-SE; c. 22m NE-SW) defined by a low scarp (H 0.3m-1m) E-S-W in reclaimed pasture but the perimeter at N is not well-defined.

• RO007-089 Ringfort - rath
