Church in Cloonmacduff

Church

What is recorded here

According to O'Rorke (1878, 93-4; 97), a 17th-century map shows a church or the ruins of a church on the land known as 'Patrick's pasture', located at the E side of Cloonmacduff townland and associated with a cashel (SL020-218002-). No remains of a church were noted here. A 'Druids Altar' (SL020-218003-) is in the centre of the cashel and St Patrick's well (SL020-217----) is c. 160m to SSW.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record SL020-218001
