Church in Emly — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

In the centre of Emly graveyard (TS065-013006-), immediately S of St. Ailbes Well (TS065-013003-) there is a church indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map, to the S of holy well and to the E of the site of the cathedral (TS065-013002-). There is no visible trace of this church at ground level. This may have been a medieval church built from the fabric of the cathedral or it may have been the church which was built in the 19th century. In 1827 a new cathedral was built to the S of St. Ailbe's well as indicated on the first edition OS 6-inch map. However, this was dismantled in 1877 and the stones were taken to build a church in Monard (O'Dwyer and O'Dwyer 1987, 1-29). Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
