Killeshin is a small rural community situated five kilometres west of Carlow town and overlooks the picturesque Barrow Valley. The church at the foot of the Killeshin hills is the site of an early Christian monastery.[1] NameKilleshin[2] derives its name from one of the abbots of its famous monastery - Uisin, meaning the Cell or church of Uisin. HistoryKilleshin was an important centre for learning and culture as early as the 6th or 7th century when a monastery was founded there by either St. Comgan or St. Diarmait.[3][4][5][6] "The Martyrology of Oengus the Culdee" states: February 27 Feast of Comgan...Comgan son of Diarmait...[7] July 8 Feast of Diarmait...Modimoc...Glenn Uissen...[8] Index of persons - Comgan, son of Diarmait, feb 27, of Glenn Uissen...[9] Killeshin or Gleann Uissen,[1] was early known as a great scriptorium. In the Annals of the Four Masters the stratum of Leinster material of the 9th–11th centuries may have been originated at Killeshin. While some four kilometres north west lie the ruins of Sleaty – Sleibthe,[10][11] home to reputedly the first bishop of Leinster – St.Fiacc (c418-498)[1] Hiberno-Romanesque architectureKilleshin Church is located off the main Carlow-Castlecomer road, adjacent to Killeshin village itself. The church at Killeshin is largely from the 12th century, although some parts show evidence of later rebuilding, including a late Gothic east window The ancient monastery was destroyed in the 11th century and all that remains is a beautifully carved 12th-century doorway: one of the finest examples of hiberno-Romanesque architecture in Ireland. No trace remains of the 105 ft round tower believed to have once been the tallest in Ireland which stood next to the monastery, it was demolished by an 18th-century landowner who was afraid that the tower could collapse and injure his cattle.[12][13] It is said that ten counties can be seen from the hill above Killeshin. Public transportThe village is served by the Buggy Coaches Castlecomer-Crettyard-Carlow bus route with one journey into Carlow in the morning and one back in the afternoon.[14] On Saturdays there are two journeys each way. The nearest rail services may be accessed at Carlow railway station approximately 6 kilometres distant. Killeshin has good fishing spots, in Ballyhide the River Barrow is nearby. Sport
