Recorded monuments

• TS081-053 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  At the foot of a N-facing slope, sloping down to the Thonoge River which flows 6m N of the holy well. The well is rectangular and stone-lined (1.16m x 0.7m; retaining wall 0.15m H), aligned N-S. The S end is built into the hillside which is retained by stone walling, now partially rendered and capped with concrete. At the back of the well, which is built into a recess (0.85m Wth; 0.6m D; 0.5m H) in the stone walling, there is a stone spout whcih carries water draining off the hillside. The water in the well (D c. 0.2m) is very clear. The retaining wall of the well is composed of limestone slabs, some concreted. A shallow concrete gully runs along the base of the retaining wall to the E of the well and drains into the well. No evidence of any religous devotion at the well. According to Power (1908, 75), Ciaran, a native of Northern Decies, was baptised by St. Declan at this well and close to it, some years after, he built himself a monastic cell.

• TS081-054 Chapel
  Description

  On a break in slope, off the crest of a W-facing slope in hilly terrain, mostly pasture. A 17th-century chapel is situated at the E end of the graveyard (TS081-054001-), the wall of which runs up to the E gable of the chapel. A small chapel (dims. 7.13m x 10.2m externally; wall T 0.75-0.9m; wall H 2.2-2.5m), orientated E-W, with a doorway centrally placed in the W gable and extremely steep pitched roof. Mainly limestone rubble construction with some sandstone and is roughly coursed. Crudely cut limestone blocks used as quoins. Pointed doorway (H 1.15m; Wth 0.96m; D 0.26m) chamfered externally with memorial plaque (TS081-054003-), dated 1644, above it. Above this plaque there is a small, flat-headed, rectangular opening. The W gable (H c. 6m) is surmounted by a single, round-headed bellcote, the external lintel appears to be composed of two pieces of sandstone. At the E end of the chapel there are opposing windows on the N and S wall, in both examples only the lower portion survives. Repair work, including insertion of iron girders was carried out in early 20th century, c. 1913 (The editor 1913, 47-8). In the interior on N side of W gable there is a sandstone stoup with rounded angles, c. 0.4m above interior, which projects out (Wth 0.3m x D 0.32m). The basin itself is roughly circular (dims. 0.22m x 0.25m; D 0.04m). Centrally placed in the E gable there is a occulus window of sandstone set into a straight-sided, flat-headed embrasure. The lintel of the embrasure is limestone with an incised cross within an incised border, a re-used graveslab (TS081-054004-). There is a rise in ground level 0.4m above interior at E end on S side, probably a vault, now grassed over. There are a number of 17th-century graveslabs recorded in the graveyard, two of which (TS081-054005-; TS081-054006-) are not visible above ground and one visible (TS081-054004-).

• TS081-054003 Wall monument
  Description

  Above the doorway, in the W gable of a 17th-century chapel (TS081-054001-), which situated at E end of the graveyard (TS081-054001-), there is a rectangular memorial plaque (dims. 0.65m x 0.47m) set within a chamfered limestone surround. Above the inscription there are the initials IHS, a cross and a monagram for Ave Maria. There is a sketch of the plaque in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol.1, No. 42) and another by du Noyer (Cunningham 2000, 15). The inscription in contracted latin, in raised relief reads: ORAte Pro Aiabs P. Eugenu: Duhy Vic de Tybrud: et D: Doct Galf: Keating huis Sacelli Fundatoru: necno et pro oibs alusta sacerd. quam laicis quoru corpa in eod: jacet sa A Dom 1644. The expanded latin reads: Orate pro animabus Patris Eugenii Duhy vicarii de Tybrad et Domini Doctoris Galfridii Keating huius sacelli fundatorum necnon et pro omnibus aliis tam sacerdotibus quam laicis quorum corpora in eodem iacent Sacello, Anno Domini 1644 (Cunningham 2000, 14) which translates as Pray for the souls of Father Eoghan O'Duffy vicar of Tubbrid and Dr Geoffrey Keating the founders of this chapel, as likewise for all other, clergy as well as laity whose bodies rest in the same chapel, AD 1644 (ibid.).

  Description

  Inserted into an embrasure in the E gable of Tubbrid mortuary chapel (TS081-054----) which is situated at the E end of the graveyard (TS081-054001-). The graveslab forms the lintel of an embrasure for an occulus window which is centrally placed in the E gable of the chapel. The lintel is limestone with an incised cross within an incised border and appears to be a re-used graveslab. There is a 17th-century graveslab (TS081-054002-) in the graveyard.

• TS081-054005 Graveslab
