Recorded monuments

• KK022-006 Moated site
  Description

  A roughly square enclosure (dims. c. 30-35m N-S and E-W). On the 1899-1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map a well is indicated on the E side of the enclosure, feeding a stream which runs S and then E from the well. It is likely that the well also fed a wet moat surrounding the enclosure. The moated site is hachured on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map while on the 1899-1900 revision the S and W sides are indicated by a field boundary and the N and E sides are not depicted. The monument is overgrown with trees and scrub.

• KK022-015001 Church
  Description

  On a W-facing slope, in the NE portion of a roughly D-shaped graveyard (KK022-015002-). There are good views from W-N-NE. The church is indicated on the Down Survey (1655-6) barony of Crannagh and parish map of ‘The Parrish of Ballicallan and parte of the Parrish of Tullohan’. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 436), ‘Kyleballykeeffe Church was a chapel of ease to the parish church of Tullaghanbroge. About the year 1230, the Dean and Chapter of St. Canice’s Cathedral confirmed to the Abbey of St. Thomas, Dublin, the grant made thereto of the church of Tullachbroch (Tullaghanbroge) and the “Chapel of Balykene.”’. St Nicholas was the patron (ibid.). A rectangular church (ext. dims. 14.2m E-W x 7.7m N-S; wall T c. 0.9m) constructed of roughly coursed limestone and shale rubble, the quoins at each angle have been removed. It is heavily ivy clad. Both gables stand to full height with a double bellcote surmounting the W gable and the side walls survive to a maximum height of 2m. The church was entered through a doorway in the W gable, now blocked, though none of the dressed stone surround survives. Immediately inside, in the W gable S of the doorway, there is a square limestone holy water stoup (dims. 0.27m x 0.27m), with a circular bowl (diam. 0.24m; D 0.09m), projecting from the wall. The angles are chamfered and curve towards the moulded circular base and the three sides have been cut to form flat D-shaped faces. There is a limestone ogee-headed single-light window in the E gable. The OS Letters (1839) describe ‘a broken window’ in the S wall (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 237 (80-1)). According to Holahan (1883, 86), ‘The altar stone is nine feet [c. 2.7m] long, by three feet [c. 0.9m] wide. It is now buried in the floor near the western gable, where it seems to have been placed when the church was used as a ball-court. Old Father Laracy had some of the stones (KK018-099----) of this church removed to Ballycallan for the purpose of building a porch to the old chapel (the present schoolhouse)’. At the E end of the S wall there is a plain cut-limestone pointed piscina recess (int. dims. 0.77m x 0.42m) containing shallow piscina (diam. 0.32m) with a rectangular drainage channel. A roughly cut corbel projects from the inner face of the E gable, S of the window.

• KK022-015002 Graveyard
  Description

  On a W-facing slope with good views from W-N-NE. A medieval church (KK022-015001-) is located in the NE portion of a roughly D-shaped raised graveyard (dims c. 30m E-W x c. 20m N-S) which is enclosed by a stone wall. A public road runs NW-SE along the SW edge of the graveyard. The graveyard is entered via a gate from the roadside, having ascended four steps which project out of the boundary wall. According to Holahan (1893, 87), ‘Some interments are still made here’ and this is can be seen in the headstones which predominantly date from the 18th and 19th century. There are some uninscribed grave-makers in an area SW of the church. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 21 May 2021
