What is recorded here

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). The 1839 'OS 6-inch' map shows structure within graveyard, probably 'disused district chapel' mentioned by Comerford (1886, Vol III, 383). No visible indications of antiquity.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CW007-027
