## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- RO020-042: Ritual site - holy well, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO020-042----. Traditionally, when St Caolin plucked out her eyes to dissuade a suitor a well appeared at that location. A subsequent outrage caused the well to move c. 20m to its present location but to remain dry (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 80; Lupeta 1912). The saint is Caolainn of Termon More (RO026-034----) c. 1.4km to the SSE, who was descended from the Ciarraighe. This tribe gave their name to the county of Kerry, but a branch migrated to this territory in Connaught and the saint’s church is recorded in these stories. Traditionally, her feast was celebrated on 3 February (Ó Riain 2011, 151-2). Situated towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. This is a circular drystone-built well (diam. c. 0.4m; D 0.5m) which is dry, with an oak tree holding offerings 1m to the SE. The site of Termonkeelin church (RO020-043001-) is c. 450m to the E. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 2 July 2015
- RO020-043001: Religious house - Augustinian, of Arrouaise nuns, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO020-043001-. Traditionally founded by St Caolin or Caolainn, sometimes described a disciple of St Bridget's (Lupeta 1912). A convent of Arrouaisian nuns, known as Termonkeelin, was founded after 1223, probably by nuns from Derrane (RO040-004001-) and Roscommon (RO039-043006-), and it is listed as Ternumkrum in the ecclesiastical taxation of 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 223). Later it became a dependency of Kilcreevanty (GA029-096001-) (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 324; Hall 2003, 152, 209). Situated on a gentle S-facing slope. Raised rectangular grass-covered area (ext. dims 25.5m E-W; 15m N-S; ext. H 0.8m at N to 1.3-1.5m) defined by grass-covered stone spreads (Wth 5.3-7m; int. H 0.2-0.5m) that may be largely field spoil. Some stones which may be in situ from the original walls of the church are visible. There is a tradition that the field to the N was used as a Childrens' Burial Ground (RO020-043002-). Tober Caelainn (RO020-042----) is c. 450m to the W, and a road (RO020-044----) led S from the church to Termon More church site (RO026-034----). Standing stone (RO020-055----) is c. 100m to the SE. (Timoney 1990, 15) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO020-043002: Children's burial ground, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO020-043002-. Gannon (1972) records that in the 19th century the field to the N of the church remains (RO020-043001-) was used as a childrens burial ground. There is no supporting evidence and it is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
- RO020-055: Standing stone, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CRO020-055----. On a gentle S-facing slope c. 100m ESE of Termonkeelin church (RO020-043003-). Rectangular limestone block (dims 0.85m E-W; 0.45m N-S; H 1.05m) narrowing towards the top (0.62m E-W; 0.1-0.4m N-S). (Timoney 1990, 13) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
