Church in Glebe West

Listed as Kilredan in the ecclesiastical taxation of Elphin in 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 224), it may have been a chapel-of-ease to the medieval parish church of Tibohine (RO014-021001-) c. 120 km to the NE. It is situated on a knoll. The only evidence of a church within the D-shaped grass-covered graveyard (dims 58m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by masonry walls is a small stoup (RO020-001003-) (dims 0.42m x 0.42m; H 0.26m). There are grave-markers and headstones from c. 1898 within the graveyard and the site of holy well (RO020-002----) is c. 70-100m to the SW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
