Church (in Ruins)

According to the OSL (Herity 2002, 68 (200)), 'It is said that Saint Peter's Day was formerly celebrated here as the Patron Day of the Parish. Among other rectories, that of Ratherne (Rathernan), was granted to Sir Edmund Butler Knt., according to Inquis: 20th May 10 Eliz. (1668): cited by Archdall in his Monasticum under the heading "Great Connall"'. In the S sector of a graveyard (KD018-006002-), where it stands on a pronounced grass-covered, circular mound (diam. 22m; H 1.2-1.8m). The very poorly preserved remains comprise the S portion of the W gable wall (dims. L 5m N-S; H 3.8m; T 0.75m), described in 1986 as being built of roughly coursed mortared sandstone blocks (SMR file), but now completely obscured by ivy cover, together with a very short portion (L 0.5m) of the W end of the S wall. A gap (Wth 2m) in the W gable wall is the site of a robbed-out window. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
