Recorded monuments

• TS058-018 Ringfort - rath
  Description

  In level pasture. Circular raised area (diam. 23m) defined by an internal low broad earthen bank (overall Wth 6.3m; Wth at top 2.1m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1m) with an external wide flat-bottomed fosse (overall Wth 4.8m; Wth at base 3m; D 0.3m). The fosse is best preserved W-E being very low and difficult to discern SW-W and E-SE. The fosse is not visible SE-SW where a modern E-W orientated field bank skirts the external base of the bank SSE-SSW. A break (Wth 4m) in the internal bank at SE marks the position of the original entrance. The interior is level and clear of overgrowth. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS058-034 Church
  Description

  On a slight rise of ground with good views in all directions. The church is not visible at ground level in the graveyard (TS058-034001-), but two architectural fragments from a medieval building, possibly the church, are situated in the N quadrant. One of these is a chamfered, punch-dressed jambstone of a 15th/16th-century window possibly belonging to the medieval church. The other limestone fragment is of medieval date, but it is unclear what this fragment originally belonged to. In the Civil Survey of 1654-6 the lands of Solloghodmore contained the 'ruines of an old mill & a church” (Simington 1934, vol. 2, 53). According to the OS letters the Roman Catholic church, to N of the graveyard, was built on the site of the medieval church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 8).

  Description

Large rectangular-shaped graveyard (int. dims. 52m N-S; 38m E-W) enclosed by a high rubble sandstone wall (H 1m; Wth 0.6m) containing 18th and 19th-century memorials. Two medieval architectural fragments possibly from a medieval church (TS058-034----) are located in the N quadrant of the graveyard. Half of a small red sandstone conglomerate quern stone also visible in graveyard. According to the OS letters the graveyard had several ash and other trees of a 'considerable age' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 8), none of these trees survive today. Roman Catholic church located to N of graveyard. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
