- WI032-001 Ecclesiastical enclosure
Description
Situated on a level area in undulating terrain. A 19th-century church, which possibly overlies an earlier church (WI032-001001-), and a graveyard (WI032-001002-) lie within an oval enclosure marked as circular on the 1838 OS 6-inch map (dims. 70m N-S; 50m E-W). The S portion of the enclosure is intact and is defined by a bank (Wth 3m; H 1.5m). The N part has been removed and the modern rectangular graveyard added on. Other than the enclosure there is no surviving evidence of an early site. 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. Revised by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 17 September 2011
- WI032-001001 Church
Description
Kiltegan has been identified as the church of Tecan, a contemporary of St Patrick, though there is no evidence to support this claim (Price 1949, 111). A C of I church was built in 1805 within an ecclesiastical enclosure (WI032-001----) with graveyard (WI032002-). It is likely that an earlier church existed within the enclosure, possibly under the 19th-century church, but is no longer visible above ground.
