Church in Bellahy

Church

What is recorded here

Not listed in either the SMR (1989) or RMP (1995). Indicated on the 1911 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a rectangular structure in the E side of a bastioned fort (SL042-029----). Grass-covered foundations remain of a rectangular stone-walled structure (14m NNE-SSW; 7m WNW-ESE). The walls are c. 0.4-1m in width and 0.2-0.3m in height. According to local information, this was the post-Penal church of Bellahy. The depiction on the 1911 map suggests an apse on the ESE end- wall. This is post-1700 AD in date but it is mentioned in the record for the bastioned fort (SL042-029----).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL042-029001
