DROMINEER CEMETERY CHURCH (RUINS)

Photo No.0
Dromineer Church Sign
This Small ruined church is of considerable antiquity. The large
stone blocks used to built it (termed 'cyclopean') have suggested to
some observers a date as early as the 10th c.  There is a local
tradition that it was begun but never finished by monks from Holy
Island.  Whatever the truth of this, it was extensively remodelled
in the 12th c. in Celtic Romanesque style.  This is shown by the
presence of stones carved with chevron decoration in the west
doorway, part of the semicircular arch of which was standing when
surveyed for the ordnance survey in 1840, and others set into the
churyard wall to the south-west.  Note also the fine round headed
east windows.  The church is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation
of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302, and the Royal Visitation of 1615
described the building as 'church and chancel well'.  Like other
churches in the area its use was denied to the Roman Catholic
population as a result of the reformation, and there were too few
Protestants in the locality to maintain it. so that it gradually
fell into ruin.
