Recorded monuments

• WI015-011001 Church
  Description

  Situated at a break in a marked SW-facing slope at the centre of Dunboyke graveyard (WI015-011002-). A nave (int. dims. 9.9m x 5.2m) and chancel (int. dims. 5.3m x 3m) church, of two-period construction. The chancel appears to be a small oratory to which the nave was later added. The walls are of unmortared blocks and slabs (Wth 1.4m; average H 1m). The door (Wth uncertain) was at the W end. The walls of the nave (Wth 0.83m; H 1-1.15m) abut onto the chancel; at the SE angle an internal buttress appears to block a gap which developed between the nave and chancel walls at this point. The S door, marked by a gap (Wth 1m), is towards the SW angle. There is no evidence for the location of windows. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 19 December 2012

Architectural heritage

• Milestone/milepost, 1750–1770 · Regional interest
  Description

  Triangular granite milestone of c.1760 inscribed ‘Dublin 24 [miles]’ to one face and ‘Bglass [Baltinglass] 11’ on the other, both in informal lowercase lettering but now largely indistinct due to wear and damage. Under both of these inscriptions are the more formally inscribed uppercase letters ‘CW’, the latter possibly added at a later date. The milestone is one of at least four which still survive on the stretch of the N81 road between Hollywood Cross Roads and Baltinglass.
