What is recorded here

On a NE-facing slope just the off crest of a ridge overlooking a valley floor to the E. According to Power (1908, 60) the 'site of this early religious establishment will be found due north - at distance of two fields - from the present church. In process of quarrying limestone for burning in a kiln close at hand, greater portion of the church site proper has been cut away'. The church is not visible at ground level. A large disused quarry with a limekiln, which is marked on 2nd (1904-5) ed. OS 6-inch map, is still evident. The location should only be considered as indicative of the general area described by Power. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of revised upload: 21 October 2015
