In pasture broken by limestone outcrops, on a low rise. A roughly circular area (c. 20m E-W; 22m N-S) utilising a natural rise, defined NW-NE by a low moss-covered stony rise (Wth c. 4m), NE-SE by a barely discernible moss-covered stony rise and SSE-W by a stone-strewn scarp (H 1.55m). The interior is level but the surface is uneven with small hummocks of moss-covered stone.

In 1836 'two holy water pots (fonts)' (see SL021-055002-), one of which was built into the road, were recorded in Kilross townland (OSNB no. 2, 246). These were indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map and named 'Fonts', c. 80m W of Kilross Church (SL021-056001-). The area is covered with overgrowth and they were not located. Wood-Martin (1882 vol. 3, 352) mentioned that two wells in this area were marked by 'two large rocks, one of them sculptured, and called the "holy-water stone"...' The precise nature of these 'holy water pots' is uncertain, and the possibility that these were bullaun stones cannot be excluded.

In undulating marshy terrain, on the N side of a road, in the NW corner of Kilross graveyard (SL021-056002-). Only the SW corner of the church stands (int. 4.95m E-W; 2.8m N-S). This is built of mortared roughly coursed limestone. Along the internal face of the W wall is the springing line of a wicker-centred vault which covered a ground-floor apartment at the W end of the church. A window lighting this area survives in the S wall, and has a splayed and lintelled embrasure and a single flat-headed light. At first-floor level part of W side of another window embrasure survives. This is the remains of the late medieval parish church of Kilross (O'Rorke [1889], vol. 2, 247; M. A. Timoney 2002b, 57). A road (SL021-057----) lies c. 100m to the S. In 1836 'two holy water pots (fonts)' (SL021-055001-, SL021-055002-) were recorded in this townland (OSNB vol. 2, 246); these were probably the two 'Fonts' indicated and named on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, c. 80m to the W. This area is covered with scrub overgrowth and these features could not be located.

A rectangular graveyard (c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S) enclosed by a low repointed stone wall. It is entered through a gateway, with plain limestone piers and a wrought iron gate, in the S wall. In the NW corner are the fragmentary remains of Kilross parish church (SL021-056001-). Most of the headstones are of 19th- and 20th-century date but the earliest noted was dated 1721. There are also a number of low uninscribed grave-markers, six chest-tombs and a number of recumbent slabs. The most notable plot is a 19th-century walled enclosure, with three memorials to the Ormsbys of Castledargan, which overlies the line of the S wall of the church. There are no visible remains of the foundations of a possible building (noted by M. B. Timoney, pers. comm.) (SL021-056004-) to the ESE of the church. Three quernstones (SL021-056003-) have been found in the graveyard, two of which are in the NMI. A road (SL021-057----) lies c. 100m to the S.

Listed in both the SMR (1989) and the RMP (1995) and classified 'Sweathouse'. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. In poorly drained pasture, at the base of a gentle N-facing slope. The remains consist of a semicircular depression (diam. c. 3.3m; D 0.7m) lined with stones. There is a modern field drain to NE and a field boundary to E. This is probably post-1700 AD in date.

- SL021-214: Cross, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CSL021-214----. Located in a pasture field, on the E-facing slope of a small hillock, 100m W of Kilross church (SL021-056001-) and graveyard (SL021-056002-). There is a stream 30m to E. This medieval cross, of unusual and striking design, lay on its side partly buried in the ground, its sculpted features concealed, until it was uncovered and set upright in August 2018. It consists of a massive rectangular sandstone block (total H c. 1.4m; Wth 0.65m; T 0.49m), sculpted with short protruding arms to create the effect of a cross. The stubby arms (projecting Wth 0.16m; H 0.17m; L 0.34m) are rectangular in shape, and disproportionally small relative to the bulk of the stone. They protrude 0.16m from the narrow sides of the stone, 0.24m below the top. They are flush with the NE face of the stone, separated only by a slight dressed indentation. They do not, however, extend across the full thickness of the stone, ending 0.15-0.16m short of the SW face. The arm on the SE side is somewhat rougher in form, possibly at least partly as a result of weathering. On the broad NE face of the stone, there is an incised outline of a double-line Greek cross (H c. 53m; Wth 0.52m) with a square centre and expanded rectangular terminals; the design is now partly eroded. The incised cross fills most of the space on the top half of this side, with its horizontal arms, which span almost the full width of the stone, in line with the protruding stone arms. High on the opposite (SW) side, an oval sculpted protrusion (H 0.21; Wth 0.19m) stands 0.08-0.1m proud of the stone surface. This represents a human head, but its surface is now rough and abraded, with no clearly defined facial features evident. The two corners at the top of the stone, on either side of the head, have each been cut back to a broad sloping angle, which serves to accentuate the 3-dimensional form of the head. The position of the head, relative to the stone arms of the cross, appears to reference the crucified Christ. Lower on the same side, 0.95m below the top, a horizontal moulded band (H 0.1m) extends across the width of the stone; it is evident as a shallow, double shelf, protruding c. 0.05m from the stone surface. This provides a decorative base to the cross, below which it is likely to have been embedded in the ground or set in some supportive structure. A rectangular, vertical-sided, flat-based slot or socket (L 0.3m; Wth 0.11m; D 0.13m) is cut into the flat top of the block. The upper edge of each long side is slightly splayed. This socket is likely to have held another element of the cross, now lost: possibly a sculpted stone cap or another smaller cross of stone or even wood. A number of very small hemispherical pits or hollows (max. diam. 0.02-0.03m; D 0.015-0.02m) can be seen on the NE side of the stone, above and to the side of the incised cross. Some are surrounded by a slight discoloration oF the stone surface. The nature of these holes is as yet uncertain. Shallow, narrow fissures or indentations, part of the natural fabric of the stone, are evident on all sides. Two pronounced fissures/cracks on the NE side extend from close to the base of the stone obliquely across the surface, and intrude on the lower part of the incised cross. The history of the cross -where it stood originally and how long it was buried at its current location- is uncertain. In the mid-1800’s the OS name books recorded ‘two stones, holy water pots (fonts), one is built in the road’ (SL021-055001-; SL021-055002-) (OSNB no. 2, 246); they were indicated on the 1837 OS 6-inch map as ‘Fonts’, located in the field boundary on the S side of this field, a few meters from the current position of the cross. Later in the 19th century, Wood-Martin (1882, 352), recorded the following local tradition: ‘The church and burial-ground at Kilross were reputed to have been formerly situated on the opposite side of the rivulet which flows near them. One night, in council assembled, the occupants of the graveyard came to the conclusion that they were too tightly packed, and next morning the church and church-yard were found transported to their present position. The two wells, however, which were in the old burying-ground remained in their original position, and two large rocks, one of them sculptured, and called the "holy-water stone" mark the site of these “fonts”.’ Wood-martin’s large ‘sculptured’ rock may have been a bullaun stone, but it may well have been this cross: the socket on the upper surface naturally fills with water, and could have been interpreted locally as a 'holy water stone'. In light of the discovery of the cross, the legend of the changed location of the church and graveyard is interesting, and may reflect a folk memory of an ecclesiastical site which was older and more extensive than the current church remains suggest. In the 1980’s two 'pillar stones' (SL021-105001-; SL021-105002-) were noted lying on, or embedded in, the ground in this general area; one of these may have been the buried cross.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

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.
