What is recorded here

Killogan holds a broken cross inside a small fenced graveyard, preserving a place O'Donovan probably called Cill Eogain. Its solid wheel and faint shaft panel remain scattered rather than standing proud. The absence of a complete tower gives the stones more force; they record loss instead of displaying craft for passers-by.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 13 April 2011 According to O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 16) probably site of 'Cill Eogain'. Present remains consist of oval uncultivated area, enclosed by fence. Within graveyard (CW012-025001) is plain, bossed solid-wheeled cross and base. Panel on shaft may have had interlace ornament. Cross is broken into fragments. (Harbison 1992, 94 (entry 111)). Aerial photograph (GB89.34) shows enclosure (CW012-025) of 'Killogan burial ground' (Barrett 1989). Bibliography Barrett, G.F.
