What is recorded here

Possibly associated with the graveyard (LF027-048002-). In 1549 'John Morthagh of Cloncaloo, chaplain' was appointed to the vicarage of Kilnashee (Nicholls 1994, vol. 1, 129). The church of ‘Cloncallow’ is depicted on an early 17th-century map of Shrule barony on the S bank of the Inny River (BL, Cotton MS Augustus I.ii.26). Its precise location has not been identified but it may have been located close to or within the graveyard – possibly where the interior rises in the centre.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LF027-048001
