Recorded monuments

• TS076-016 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  According to the Civil Survey (1654-6) in 1640 the proprietor of 'sd Towne and lands of' Ballyclerahan was 'Paule Boyton..gent Irish Papist' and 'Upon the sd lands stands a little castle and some cabblins. In the sd Towne is held a fayre once a yeare & that on the 28th day of September' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 313). According to Smyth (1991, 164) 'Ballyclerihan had also its patrons in the form of the Boyton family. It was likewise the centre of a major estate, had all the classic manorial village functions, and in addition the privilege of one fair a year. In 1659 its adult population total of 129 suggests a population of c. 325. The absence of hearth money record details leaves a gap in the evidence of 1667. Its deserted street pattern, near the old parish centre, still survives a mile west of the modern chapel-village of the same name'. Associated with this settlement are a church (TS076-016002-) and castle (TS076-016001-). The earthworks are clearly visible on aerial photographs in the field immediately N of the church with burgage plots extending into the field to the E (CUCAP APG 44, 46, 48; Bing imagery: http://binged.it/1rh3Xim). The parallel earthworks represent at least five burgage plots running roughly E-W from the centre of the former village. According to local information the earthworks in the field to the NE were levelled c. 1980. The earthworks in the field N of the church are well preserved.

• TS076-016002 Church
  Description

  On raised ground on summit of a hill in undulating pasture. The church is roughly centrally placed within a graveyard (TS076-016004-). The church (overall dims. 18.75m N-S; 9.3m E-W; wall T 1m) is built of rubble limestone, randomly coursed. It is aligned E-W, only the W gable stands, with a short portion of the S wall (Wth 3.6m) and E gable (Wth 1.9m; H c. 2.1m). The E gable is discernible as a low raised, grass-covered mound. The W gable (H c. 4-5m) is heavily overgrown with ivy, as are all remaining portions of wall. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 140-41) the church 'had two apartments, nave and choir, the length of both which was eighty two feet [25m], the former measuring fifty eight feet [17.6m] by twenty three feet [7m] and the latter twenty four feet [7.3m] by nineteen feet [5.8m]. The thickness of the walls was about three feet [0.9m] and the height of the side walls about ten feet [3m]. The ruins consist of the following parts of the walls of this building, namely, the east gable of the choir, on which there is a window, large, and having a segment arch, all masonwork inside. It is pointed outside and constructed of chiselled limestone, being five feet four inches [1.6m]from the ground, one foot [0.3m] in breadth and five feet [1.5m] in height. Only a small portion of the middle gable, four paces = twelve feet [3.6m] in length remains with a bit of the south sidewall attached to it, the thickness of which has been included in the measurement here given, namely twelve feet. The bit extends to west but one foot beyond the bare surface of the above portion of the gable. The stones have been taken out of the surface of this portion of the gable on the west side from within a foot and a half [0.45m] of the south wall. Its height is now now much more than the height of the sidewall. Of the south side wall of the nave, thirteen feet [4m] in length remain within nearly twenty four feet [7.3m] of the east gable. It is about eight feet [2.4m] in highest part from the present surface of the ground and about three feet [0.9m] in thickness. A portion of the same wall, four feet eight inches [1.4m] in length and retaining the original height, about ten feet [3m], remains, attached to the west gable. This gable remains entire and has a little clump of north wall projecting from it at some distance from the ground. All the rest of the walls have been razed to the ground. This Church was dedicated to St. Michael, whose day, 29th of September is still kept a holiday in the Parish. There is here still a burial ground, not enclosed, with a stone wall'. The area of the interior of the church is occupied by rows of 19th-century headstones. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS076-016004 Graveyard
  Description

  On raised ground on summit of hill in undulating pasture-land. Church (TS076-016002-) roughly centrally placed within graveyard. Laneway from road which runs roughly N-S to W of church, provides access to graveyard. Entered at S end of W side of polygonal graveyard (dims. 48m N-S; 56m E-W). Graveyard may formerly have been more circular in shape as a curving bank (Wth 1.3m crest, 2.6m base; H above int. 0.75m; H above ext. 0.67m) survives outside the present NW boundary (dims. of additional area 13m N-S; 35.5m roughly E-W) with a entrance (Wth 2.1m) in NW. This is clearly visible on aerial photographs (ASIAP (36) 23 and 25). According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 140-41) 'there is here still a burial ground, not enclosed, with a stone wall'. There are a number of 18th-century headstones in the graveyard, the earliest legible dates to 1737 and is S of the W end of the church. E of the church there is a 16th/17th-century graveslab (TS076-016005-). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS076-016005 Graveslab
  Description

  On raised ground on summit of hill in undulating pasture. The church (TS076-016002-) is roughly centrally placed within the graveyard. E of the church, within the graveyard (TS076-016004-) there is a 16th/17th-century graveslab (dims. L 2.04m; Wth 0.94m) which was reused and inscribed in the 19th century to John Moclair, who died in 1811, and his wife Maria who died in 1830. The original Black letter inscription is visible in the margin along the top and base of the graveslab (Wth 0.15) with otherwise plain margin (Wth 0.12m) on the sides. It is decorated with a seven-arm floriated cross and the cross shaft rests on a stylised calvary mount which is cracked and broken. There is a triple barred knop at the top and base of the shaft. The graveslab is lying horizontally on top of and cemented onto a stone vault (H above concrete 4.5cm). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 22 September 2014
