Recorded monuments

• KK022-018001 Graveyard
  Description

  Immediately E of a public road, c. 50m N of Killaloe Bridge. A rectangular graveyard (dims. 20m N-S; 42m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall, with a stile and, c. 2m to the N, a wrought-iron double-leaf vehicular gate between square-plan stone piers on the roadside. The interior is raised by c. 1.5m above the surrounding ground level. The associated medieval church (KK022-018005-) is not visible at ground level. There are two medieval graveslabs (KK022-018002-; KK022-018004-) in the graveyard which is quite densely populated with 18th,19th and 20th-century headstones.

• KK022-018002 Graveslab
  Description

  Centrally located with a rectangular graveyard (KK022-018001-) associated with a medieval church (KK022-018005-). Embedded upright in the ground where it has been reused to mark a later grave. A coffin-shaped slab of red sandstone (dims. H 1m above ground; Wth 0.5m; T 0.2m) decorated with an alisée patée cross-head (four-armed, expanded terminals within a circle) with a knop on the shaft. There is a raised border around the edge of the slab. The underside of the slab is roughly cut. The shape of the slab and the decorative style of the cross indicate that it dates to the 13th/14th century. There is another graveslab (KK022-018004-) of similar date in the graveyard.

• KK022-018003 Church
  Description

  Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 439), refers to is a penal chapel which occupied the site of the present RC church across the road from the graveyard (KK022-018001-) (ibid.).The chapel was taken down in 1859 to facilitate the construction of the present church (ibid.). The chapel was likely to have been of late 17th/18th-century date. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 May 2021

• KK022-018004 Graveslab
  Description

  Within a rectangular graveyard (KK022-018001-), associated with a medieval church (KK022-018005-), c. 3m from the E boundary. Embedded upright, though inverted, in the ground where it has been reused to mark a later grave. A tapering limestone slab (dims. H 1.3m above ground; Wth 0.5m narrowing to 0.25m; T 0.25m). The face of the slab is badly weathered, only one simple fleur-de-lys terminal of a probable four-armed cross is visible, as well as the lower portion of the cross-shaft with a similar fleur-de-lys terminal. The underside of the slab is roughly cut. The shape of the slab and the decorative style of the cross indicate that it dates to the 13th/14th century. There is another graveslab (KK022-018002-) of similar date in the graveyard. See attached photograph: KK022-018002-_01 Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 May 2021

• KK022-018005 Church
  Description

  The medieval church associated with the graveyard (KK022-018001-) at Killaloe is not visible above ground. It appears to have disappeared long before 1839 as it is not indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map, nor is not mentioned by Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 439), who does, however, describe the graveyard and one of the two medieval graveslabs (KK022-018002-) within it. The only church he refers to is a penal chapel (KK022-018003-) which occupied the site of the present RC church (ibid.). The precise location of the medieval church is unknown, though it is likely to be within or adjacent to the graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 24 May 2021

• KK022-045 Earthwork
  Description

  Under the heading, ‘Ancient Monastery’, Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 440) notes that, ‘Tradition points to a field of Mr. Daniel Maher’s in Killaloe, close to the old churchyard [KK022-018002-], as the site of an ancient monastery. This field was known as Paurk-Philop, or Philip’s Field, till 1839, when the Ordnance Survey Commissioners gave it the new name of Awrdhawns, because they found the surface of the field, to the extent of two acres, covered over with little hillocks and mounds, the remains of the early monastic establishment that stood here. The south side of Paurk-Philip is washed by a stream, on the north bank of which may of the stones used in the ancient foundation may be seen; one of these formed the semi-circular cap of a small cut-stone windows. The people preserve no tradition whatever about this monastery. The field at the opposite side of the stream is called Mocha-na-mo (Macha-na-mbo), the Yard of the Cows’. Carrigan’s description tallies with a field 200m SW of the graveyard which has clearly defined earthworks and a stream running NW-SE along the S side of the field, visible on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map, though since re-aligned and now dry.
