- WI009-017002: Church, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CWI009-017002-. Situated on a low steep-sided knoll. The present church, possibly of 17th-century date, may occupy the location of the medieval church which was first mentioned in 1219-28 when it belonged to the convent of Timolin (MacNeill 1950, 58). Within the graveyard there is a 16th- or 17th-century graveslab (now reerected as a headstone). This is a tapering granite slab (present L 1.36m; Wth 0.49-0.67m; T 0.17m) with an equal-armed Maltese cross on a narrow stem defined by a shallow groove. A small granite disc-headed cross dated 166..? also stood in the graveyard (Drury 1901-03, 511) and there is a granite mortar or piscina with four lugs in the church. This site was part of the medieval borough of Hollywood (WI009-017----).

An oval-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 64m N-S; 58m E-W) with St. Kevin's C of I church (WI009-017002-) near its centre at the summit of a knoll. The graveyard is on a much lower level than the church on the S, W and N. Bounded by a public road at E side. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 13 December 2012

Within the graveyard (WI009-017003-), an earthfast, gently tapering granite stone (dims. H 1.36m; Wth 0.49-0.67m; T 0.17m) with an equal-armed Maltese cross on a narrow stem defined by a shallow groove.

A small lichen-covered granite disc-headed cross (H 3ft. 6in/ 1/06m) dated 166+ stands in NW quadrant of graveyard (WI009-017003-) (Mems Dead V 1901-03, 511).

In the NW corner of a graveyard (WI009-017003-), just NE of another cross-inscribed stone (WI009-017004-). An earthfast (but leaning sharply W) slightly tapering, granite stone (dims. H 0.8m; Wth 0.62-0.65m; T 0.17m) carries an incised Latin cross with expanded terminals on a narrow, incised shaft on its E face.

In a graveyard (WI009-017003-), just SSW of a church (WI009-017002-) An earthfast, slightly tapering, granite stone (dims. H 0.6m; Wth 0.37-0.45m; T 0.2m) carries an incised Latin cross with expanded terminals.

Discovered in a graveyard (WI009-017003-), lying some 10m S of a church (WI009-017002-). The granite slab measures 75cm long and 12cm thick. The slab is 40cm wide at the top and 53cm wide at the base where it has broken. This tapering form implies that this represents the lower end of a larger slab, whereby the main cross was located on the missing part of the slab. The incised splayed cross is equal armed (34cm across and 34cm high). From the lower transom of the cross an incised shaft or stem (11cm total width) extends down the face of the slab, and originally would probably have linked this cross with the main cross at the top of the slab.

Discovered in a graveyard (WI009-017003-), lying some 10m S of the E-end of a church (WI009-017002-). This complete granite slab measures 1.06m long, 0.44m wide at the top, 0.33m wide at the base and is 0.10m thick. The incised cross is splayed and measures 0.28m high and 0.255m across. From the lower transom a shaft (6cm to 6.5cm total width) extends down the slab for a distance of 0.23m, and stops without any formal terminal, or in a terminal cross as might be expected.

In S quadrant of graveyard (WI009-017003-), lying S of St. Kevin’s C of I Church (WI009-017002-). Maltese cross carved in relief on E face of granite slab with traces of an incised circle beneath cross which suggests that this may have been an encircled maltese cross on the east face of a low upright granite boulder.

In pasture, on a slightly E-facing slope just off the crest of a ridge. A roughly D-shaped area (dims 30m N-S; c. 27m E-W) enclosed by a bank ( Wth 3-3.5m; ext. H 0.4m; Int. H 0.3m) from NW to ESE which is reduced to a scarp edge (H 0.3m) elsewhere. Entrance (Wth 3m) at ESE. There are traces of a fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.15m) along the NW and from ENE to E. The site appears to have been straightened or possibly truncated slightly along the S possibly by a field boundary since removed. Compiled by: Matt Kelleher Date of upload: 13 December 2012

A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner.
