What is recorded here

In Abbeyfeale graveyard (LI042-012002-). No visible surface trace of roofless church 'with a lofty tower and pointed spire' shown on 17th century map (Westropp 1904-05, 404); there was some memory of this in 1840 though nothing then remained (OSL vol. 1, 42-3). This probably remains of parish church, though there are references to a 12th century Cistercian cell at Abbeyfeale (Gwynn & Hadcock 1988, 123). According to Westropp (ibid.) 'Some fragments of its walls stood in the graveyard, and are said to be embodied in the new Roman Catholic church' (OSL, 143). Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
