• TS047-085 Enclosure
  Description

  On top of rock outcrop on W face of Killough Hill which has commanding views to N and W, in pasture. Part of the enclosure has been disturbed by a quarry located immediately to the E. The monument consists of a poorly preserved circular area (int. diam 37m N-S; 34m E-W; overall diam. c. 43m E-W) enclosed by a low bank (base Wth. 5m; top Wth. 1.7m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.2m) which has been mainly reduced to a scarp. The bank is only visible from SE through S to W, elsewhere the enclosure is defined by a scarp. There is a quarry located in the S quadrant of the enclosure. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS053-005001 Church
  Description

  In grassland on the S-facing slope of high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. This ivy-covered ruinous church (int. dims. 6.5m N-S; 15m E-W; wall T 0.9m) is built with roughly coursed limestone rubble. The N and S wall and W gable stand to full height while the E gable survives approx. 2m high. A broken-out doorway is W of centre in the S wall; two chamfered archstones of this doorway have been incorporated into styles located to the N of the church. A hanging-eye survives just inside the doorway on the W side of the doorway embrasure. There is a single-light window in the centre of the W gable, a broken-out window in the E gable, a broken-out window E of centre in the S wall and a broken-out window E of centre in the N wall. Several architectural fragments have been inserted into the graveyard as grave-markers, possibly during a clean-up scheme, and the graveyard wall has been rebuilt in places with concrete blocks, particularly on the W and S stretches of the graveyard wall. The church is located on the NW boundary of the graveyard (TS053-005002-), with the graveyard wall running off the NE angle of the church and returning S and west before returning onto the centre of the W gable of the church. Earlier grass-covered wall-footings of the graveyard are visible 6m to N of the church and an external fosse runs along outside of this boundary and around the church to E and S and W. At S and E, the enclosure (TS053-005003-) is approx. 25m away, and at N and W approx. 6m away, from the existing graveyard wall. This appears to be the remains of an earlier enclosure which defines a larger burial area than the existing 19th-century graveyard boundary wall. Running off this earlier boundary are several earthworks which appear to represent small rectangular fields to N, E and S of church. These could be settlement earthworks associated with the church or may be quarry holes associated with the nearby church, similar to quarry earthworks to the N of Ballytarsna church (TS053-009----). The OS Letters describe, in 1840, a ruinous church with destroyed S doorway, E gable and E window, with a square belfry on the W gable of which no remains survive, and there was a broken-out doorway directly opposite the main doorway in the N wall (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 105 ). This latter doorway has subsequently been blocked up, but the church does not appear to have deteriorated much since the 1840 inspection. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS053-005002 Enclosure
  Description

  In grassland, on S-facing slope of high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. A large roughly oval enclosure (dims. 85m N-S; 74.6m E-W) defined by grass-covered wall-footings of graveyard visible 6m to N of church (TS053-005001-) and external fosse runs along outside of this boundary and runs around the church to E and S and W. At S and E the enclosure is approx. 25m away from the exisiting boundary wall (TS053-005002-) and at N and W approx. 6m away from graveyard wall. This appears to be the remains of an earlier enclosure which defines a larger burial area than the existing 19th century graveyard boundary wall. Running off this earlier boundary are several earthworks which appear to represent small rectangular fields to N, E and S of church. These are possibly settlement earthworks (TS053-005004-) associated with church. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

• TS053-005003 Graveyard
  Description

  In grassland, on a S-facing slope of high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. Church (TS053-005001-) located in N sector of graveyard where it forms present N boundary of graveyard with graveyard wall running off NE angle of church and returning S and returns onto centre of W gable of church which forms an L-shaped graveyard (int. dims. 44m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by a limestone rubble wall. Earlier grass-covered wall-footings of graveyard wall visible 6m to N of church (TS053-005001-) and external fosse runs along outside of this boundary and runs around the church to E and S and W. At S and E the enclosure (TS053-005003-) is approx. 25m away from the exisiting boundary wall and at N and W approx. 6m away from graveyard wall. This appears to be the remains of an earlier enclosure which defines a larger burial area than the existing 19th century graveyard boundary wall. Several architectural fragments have been inserted into the graveyard as grave-markers possibly during a clean-up scheme and graveyard wall has been rebuilt in places with concrete blocks best visible at W and S stretches of the graveyard wall. Running off this earlier boundary are several earthworks which appear to represent small rectangular fields to N, E and S of church.

• TS053-005004 Settlement deserted - medieval
  Description

  In grassland, on a ridge in high ground with good panoramic views in all directions. A series of irregular earthworks which appear to represent small rectangular fields and earthworks which extend c. 190m N, c. 200m E and c. 250m S of church (TS053-005001-) and graveyard (TS053-005001-). These appear to radiate out from the large enclosure (TS053-003002-) which surrounds the church and graveyard. These are possibly settlement earthworks (TS053-005004-) associated with church.
