• WI036-009001 Church
  Description

  Situated on a gentle S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Potters River to the S. While the site is level at the NW it drops markedly to the E and more gently to the S. A nave and chancel church built of roughly coursed rubble. The S side of the nave (dims. 15.4m E-W; 6.85m N-S) is poorly preserved with only a small stretch surviving at the W end. The N wall survives to near full height (H 2.9-3.1m; T 0.85m) with a single break (Wth 2m; H 2m) which may have been the location of a window or door. The W gable also survives to its original height (H 5m) with an opening towards the S end. This has a protruding door portal which may be an original, if unusual, feature. Of the chancel (dims. 4.5m E-W; c. 4.45m N-S) only the N side survives (H 2m). A modern wall divides the nave from the chancel but the two parts appear to be contemporary. There is a granite bullaun stone with an oval basin outside the SW angle of the church. A cylindrical granite font from this site has been removed to the graveyard of St Mary's church at Barndarrig (Ballinacor West townland). The church is situated within a graveyard (dims. c. 60m) which is bounded at the W by the public road and elsewhere by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3m at the NE) which represents the original enclosure. A narrow drainage ditch occurs inside the bank at the N and S while part of the bank at the E has been replaced by a possibly nineteenth-century mortared stone wall (H 1.3m). Outside this is a wide flat-bottomed natural gully (min. Wth 4m). There are two graveslabs dated to 1723 within the church and a substantial number of eighteenth-century headstones in the graveyard. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 13 September 2013

• WI036-009004 Font
  Description

  A cylindrical block of coarse-grained granite (Wth 80cm across) with a sub-rectangular, steep-sided basin (48cm x 45cm across the top; 42cm x 36cm across the base; D 18cm). The rim around the basin is roughly flat and damaged along one edge. The base is quite rough, and falls slightly to one side where there is a drain hole at the edge of the basin, set at a roughly 45° angle. The hole is 4cm across within the basin, narrows to 1cm, and expands again to 5cm across where it exits the stone. Moved from Castletimon to graveyard of 'St. Mary's' church Barrindarrig (see WI031-067---- for present location record). Compiled by: Claire Breen Date of upload: 13 September 2013

Moved from this church site at Castletimon sometime after 1990 to its present location beside the steps of 'Brittas Church' where it is embedded in cement which has '2000' etched into it (see WI036-082---- for present location record).
