• WI023-031 Religious house - Augustinian canons
  Description

  National Monument in state ownership No. 134. Situated about half a mile SE of the cathedral, on the south bank of the river, this Romanesque church is one of the latest at Glendalough. Said to have been founded for Augustinian Canons by St Lawrence O'Toole in 1162, it became Arroasian probably soon after 1163 (Gwynn and Hadcock 1988, 177). The buildings (now largely restored) consist of a nave (dims. 12.7m E-W; 6.35m N-S) and chancel (dims. 5.36m E-W; 3.56m N-S) with possible domestic building (c. 12.2m E-W; c. 5.8m N-S) attached to the N side of the nave. The chancel arch (of three orders) and the two-light E window have Romanesque ornament, including human and animal figures. The E wall has two aumbries one at each side of the window opening, and there are a number of small cupboards in the chancel. The nave has two doors and two windows in the S wall and one door in the N wall. The chancel was originally barrel-vaulted. A mural stairs rises southwards in the east wall of the attached building and led to an upper floor.

Architectural heritage

• Derrybawn Bridge, bridge, 1795–1815 · Regional interest
  Description

  Three-arch humpbacked road bridge over the Glendasan River, built c.1805 The bridge is built in rubble with rough coping to the parapet, but is now largely covered in ivy growth. The three arches are elliptical-headed with that to the centre largest, all have roughly dressed voussoirs and the piers have cutwaters.

• Derrybawn House, country house, 1740–1760 · Regional interest
  Description

  Detached five-bay two-storey country house built c.1750 but extensively remodelled and extended in the style of an Italian country villa c.1860. The country house is basically L-shaped in plan, with the main section to the east and a long lower wing to the south. The walls are in rubble with rough granite quoins, and brick dressings to the openings. The coursing of the stone to the main section and the prevalence of large areas under the upper floor windows patched in brick suggests that major changes have been carried out, and differences to the coursing of the rubble to the south wing suggests that this section was originally half its present length. The slated hipped roof of the main section has a pronounced overhang supported on paired brackets, and tall granite chimneystacks. The south wing has a gable-ended pitched roof, also covered in slate and with tall rendered chimneystacks. The entrance is to the south elevation of the main section and consists of a mainly glazed timber double door with large two pane segmental arch-headed fanlight. A veranda covers the entrance and stretches across the whole of this elevation. The windows to the main section are largely segmental arch-headed with timber casement frames and louvered external shutters, whilst the south wing has a mixture of segmental and flat-headed windows, also with timber casement frames. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Large range of outbuildings to the west and north. The country house is set within its own grounds.
