Recorded monuments
- WI031-020001 Church
Description
Situated on an E-facing slope overlooking a stream. A nave (int. dims. 13.3m x 6.6m) and chancel (int. dims. c. 6.6m x 4.8m) church of uncoursed rubble (T 0.8m) surviving to a H of 0.8-1m with a possible doorway at the W end of the S wall. The site is associated with St Baothin and is called Inishboheen; it is probably the site of an Early Christian church. Records suggest that the chancel was added to the earlier nave in the late 1620s (Ronan 1928, 147-8); there is a slight suggestion of the continuation of the nave walls to the E beyond the junction with the chancel. To the W of the church is a rectangular stone block (present H 0.51m; Wth 0.31m; T 0.21m). The only uncut face has the inscription 'RCAC 1690' while the letter 'B' is deeply inscribed on the top. The church is in the NE corner of a subtriangular graveyard (dims. 75m N-S x 50m at N tapering to the S) defined by a modern stone wall. There are several 18th and 19th-century headstones at this site. The church may be the only remains of the medieval borough of Ennisboyne (WI031-020----). 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: 17 December 2008
