What is recorded here

The Strafford map of 1636 shows a village with a church in Carron townland (Simington 1949, Ballintober A (25)). Situated on a gentle N-facing slope in a field known locally as the church field. At least 6 house platforms (RO040-051003-) can be identified close to a road, and an isolated platform (dims 17m NW-SE; 16m NE-SW) at its SW end may be the church.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record RO040-051002
