What is recorded here

A nineteenth-century church is located in the centre of a graveyard (TN010-006002) in Borrisokane village. While there are no visible remains of a pre-1700 church some medieval fragments were found reused in the church walls when the church was being replastered (pers. comm. Con Manning, Nov. 1994). The site is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). The graveyard, which contains eighteenth/nineteenth-century headstones, is very circular in plan which may also be an indication of an early date. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
