What is recorded here

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 208), the 'oldest chapel of which there is any tradition, stood in Kilmocar, one field north-west of Kilmocar church, on the left-hand side of the road leading to Toor Hill. It was in use down to about 1760. It is called the Shoun-thaypĕăll (sean t-sépeall) or Old Chapel. Its walls were taken down previous to the year 1800'. The probably refers to a penal chapel in use in the 17th/early 18th century. The precise location of the chapel within the townland is unknown.
