What is recorded here

O'Toole measured the buried church in 1933, proving that a nave and chancel once stood beneath the small walled graveyard in County Carlow. The lowest stone courses still break through the soil like the ribs of a forgotten room. People may have stopped praying there when the building fell, yet they kept returning to bury their dead beside its hidden bones.
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: 22 December 2009 Revised by: J. Farrelly Lowest courses of nave and chancel church (dims. c. 14m x c. 8.2m (nave c. 9.8m; chancel c. 4.2m), recorded by O'Toole (JKAS 1933, 280), still visible in small approximately rectangular graveyard (CW013-049002-) enclosed by wall.
