What is recorded here

Situated in lowlying, level pasture, c. 100m E of a rocky shore. This is traditionally believed to be a church founded by St. Patrick. Remains comprise portions of the ENE and NNW walls. The surviving portion of the ENE wall (L 6.8m; Wth 1.15m; max. H 1.25m) is constructed of mortared limestone blocks with a rubble core. Built into this wall is a splayed opening (Wth 0.38m), probably marking the position of a doorway or window. The outline of the NNW wall (L 6m) is also identifiable. This building is located on a slightly raised rectangular area (55m N-S; 13m E-W; H 0.2m) which is traditionally believed to be the site of an old burial ground (SL010-024001-).
