What is recorded here

Enniskeen Church vanished in the sixteenth century, leaving behind a rectangular graveyard where fifteen-century fragments still cling to the wall. A socketed stone, perhaps the girdle of a memorial cross, sits cemented to a boulder nearby, its four faces marked but its purpose diminished. The church itself has no visible remains, yet the graveyard preserves enough to suggest that people once gathered there, named the place, and forgot it only gradually.

Site of Enniskeen Church (CV035-042001-), Co. Cavan apparently lay within a disused large rectangular graveyard (CV035-042002-). It was abandoned in the 17th century. No visible remains of church at ground level. Davies (1948, 95-6) recorded some 15th-century architectural fragments built into the graveyard wall which are now in the National Museum of Ireland. He also recorded a socketed dressed stone, probably the girdle of a memorial cross (CV035-042004-), inscribed on all four faces, cemented to a large boulder and located within a small enclosure W of the graveyard.
