What is recorded here

Located at the bottom of a S-facing slope and at the W side of a N-S road. The church of Aughbui was a Roman Catholic church 1750-1824 before the present church at Drumeela was built c. 1 km to the SSW. Its site is marked by a triangular gravel-covered area (dims c. 12m N-S; c. 9m E-W) with the apex at S defined by a masonry wall with a commemorative plaque that was erected in 2001. (Gallogly 1993-4, 427) The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
