- RO051-052001 Settlement cluster
Description
Visible on aerial photographs (CUCAP: BDK 39-42) from the 1970s, but not marked on any maps unless it is the collection of structures at the S end of what is depicted as church land between Dundonnel and Knock to the W and Tullaghan (Turloughmore ?) and Beagh (Taghmaconnel?) to the E on the Strafford map of c. 1636. Shraduffe was described as part of Teagh macConnell, and 114 acres there were owned by the Bishop of Clonfert in 1641 and the 1660s (Simington 1949, 103, Athlone). The settlement is situated in a fairly level landscape. A N-S strip (dims c. 180m N-S; c. 35-45m E-W) contained the foundations of c. 10 stone-built houses on either side of a street with a lime-kiln at the centre. It covered an area of about 2 acres (c. 0.75 ha), but it is not visible now at ground level in pasture. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of revised upload: 17 November, 2015
- RO051-072001 Ritual site - holy well
Description
On low-lying ground c. 20m from the N bank of a SE-NW stream. This is an oval well (dims 0.95m NE-SW; 0.75m NW-SE; D 0.65m) defined by a masonry wall (Wth 0.5m; H 0.6m) which is open to the SW and which has a trough (dims 0.9m x 0.4m) on top of the wall. It is within a subcircular enclosure (int. dims 8.5m x 7m) defined by a masonry wall (Wth 0.6m; H 1m) with a limestone crucifixion plaque (RO051-072002-) (dims 1.13m x 0.9m), probably 18th century in date, set into it (Crawford 1919, 115). A thorn tree stands over the well. The well is still venerated, and a pattern is held on 21st June (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 24; Moore 2000, 91-2), although St Rónán of Aghalurcher, Co. Fermanagh (Foley and McHugh 2014, vol. 1, 685-90), after whom it is thought to have been named, is remembered on 23rd December (Ó Riain 2011, 538). The parish church of Taghmaconnell (RO051-053001-) is c. 900m to the NE. See the attached view taken from the SE. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
