- LF023-032001 Church
Description
In pasture, within a graveyard (LF023-032002-). St Eiche is associated with an early foundation at Kilglass (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 390). In 1407 the parish church of St Echich was assigned to Maurice Macgillavanaeim, archdeach of Ardagh (Cal. papal letters 1904, vol. 6, 120) and in 1465 William Obranaguyn was the perpetual vicar (ibid. 1933, vol. 12, 535). The rectory was leased to Walter Tirrell of Dublin in 1542 (Nicholls 1994, vol. 1, 38). A church is depicted on an early 17th-century map of Ardagh barony in ‘Aghnesherg’ (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.25), an area that roughly corresponds with this townland. McNamee (1954, 680-81) recorded that, although no remains survived, a mound in the graveyard was traditionally believed to mark its site. In 1977 (SMR file) the grass-covered foundations of the church (dims. c. 9m E-W; 6m N-S) were evident and a number of graves were set in a line across its W end. No architectural features were noted apart from a fragment of a round-headed window, which was incorporated into the stile beside the entrance gate. The interior of the graveyard has been levelled in recent times and no visible surface trace of the church survives. Some memorials have been removed and built into the surrounding graveyard wall. An octagonal cross-shaft (LF023-032004-) has been cemented on top of the wall beside the stile and a stoup (Lennon 2005), probably also from the church, has been incorporated into its fabric. A motte and bailey (LF023-033----) lies c. 40m to the SSW. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013
- LF023-032002 Graveyard
Description
Associated with a church (LF023-032001-). This subrectangular graveyard (72m NNW-SSE; 66m ENE-WSW) is enclosed by a modern-looking, narrow, straight-sided bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.9-3.1m; H 0.4-1.2m) and an external narrow, steep-sided, flat-bottomed, partially waterlogged fosse (Wth 1-1.8m; D 1.1m; 1.6m). The inner face of the bank is stone faced at NE. Access is via a wrought-iron gate at the N end of the NW wall and short lengths of stone walls have been built on either side of it. On its N side there is a stone stile, the uppermost step of which consists of a fragment of a late-medieval round window head. Just beside the stile, the octagonal shaft of a possible cross (LF023-032004-) has been cemented onto the top of the wall and a stoup (Lennon 2005), probably also from the church, has been incorporated into the fabric of the wall. The interior of the graveyard is uneven and poorly drained. A fosse that is evident in the SE quadrant may be the remains of ‘a broad low earthen bank with wide shallow external fosse' noted in 1977 (SMR file) and it most likely defined the graveyard prior to the construction of the present graveyard wall. Decipherable memorials date from the 19th and 20th centuries. According to local tradition, it was the burial ground of the O'Farrells of Ardanragh (Farrell 1891, 326). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 4 June 2013
- LF023-032004 Cross
Description
Beside the stile at the entrance to a graveyard (LF023-032002-). The lower part of a possible shaft of a cross has been cemented onto the top of the graveyard wall. The shaft (H 0.48m; Wth 0.37m; T 0.27m) is octagonal in plan with chamfered sides terminating at four bull-nose chamfer stops. A small tenon protrudes from the top of it. It probably dates to the 16th or early 17th century. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan, Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 6 June 2013
- LF023-033 Castle - motte and bailey
Description
On a WSW-facing slope in low-lying pasture, with extensive views in all directions. A small, oval, steep-sided, earthen mound (H 4-6m; dims. at base c. 26m ENE-WSW; c. 21m NNW-SSE) with a relatively flat-topped summit (c. 20m ENE-WSW; c. 13m NNW-SSE). A shallow fosse (Wth 4.7m; D 0.5m) separates the motte from the bailey, which is to the NE. The bailey comprises a low, roughly square platform (11m NE-SW; 11m NW-SE) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-0.75m). The motte and bailey are encircled by a largely infilled, wide, shallow fosse (Wth 10.1m; max. D 1m). Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 26 March 2012
