What is recorded here
Killinkere parish church in County Cavan keeps a buried mausoleum beneath its west end, measuring 5.9 metres north-south and 3.15 metres east-west. The conserved gable still stands with a small window beneath the apex, while the vault’s springing presses against the inner wall like a forgotten breath. That much is clear; the rest belongs to the dead who gave the chamber its shape.
Located towards the top of the E and S-facing slope of a drumlin. The parish church of Killinkere has evidence of a mausoleum (int. dims 5.9m N-S; 3.15m E-W) separated from the nave of the church by cross-wall at its W end. The conserved W gable of the church survives entire with a small window beneath the apex, and the springing of the vault of the mausoleum is evident on the inner face of the wall.
