Recorded monuments

• RO040-014001 Church
  Description

  Towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. Described c. 1912 by Fr. J. Finnan, the Roman Catholic parish priest of Kilteevan, as a small rectangular enclosure (int. dims c. 5.1m x c. 3m) defined by low earth and stone walls (Wth c. 0.9m) with an entrance at W which was known locally as St Ronan's church. Bones were discovered c. 1912, and it is locally thought to be a children’s burial ground (RO040-014004-) (Ryan 1997, 220-1). The church was within a circular ecclesiastical enclosure (RO040-014005-) (diam. c. 60m) defined by a slight scarp (Fanning 1979-80), but this does not survive. A cross-slab (RO040-014002-) (dims 0.52m x 0.48m; T 0.15m) with an incised ringed cross and an inscription interpreted as CROBRAN (Fanning and O'hÉailidhe 1980, 14-16; Herity et al. 1997, 114) was always extant here, but the cross is now in NMI (Scott 2000; O'Mahony 2005, 20). A grass-covered cairn (RO040-014003-) (dims 5m E-W; 2.7m N-S; H 0.55m) is nearby, and two holy wells (RO040-016----; RO040-017----) are c. 600m to the SE.

• RO040-014003 Cairn - clearance cairn
  Description

  Towards the bottom of a S-facing slope. A grass-covered cairn (dims 5m E-W; 2.7m N-S; H 0.55m), probably a clearance cairn, is where the cross-slab (RO040-014002-) was kept. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

• RO040-016 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  In a low-lying landscape near the junction of two streams. The well known as Tobernagreaghta was famous in the 19th century for curing wounds according to J. O'Donovan in 1837 (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 53). It is thought to be the original site of St Bridget's Well of Cloonmurly (RO040-017----), c. 65m to the E, which moved when it was desecrated by an unbeliever, Robert Ormsby. It is not visible at ground level in pasture. Patterns were held at night between Aug. 15th and Sep. 9th. (Ryan, 1997, 222) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
