Church in Garrynamona

Situated on a SE facing slope on lower slope of hill, river and marsh to SE, in pasture. Site depicted on 1st (1843) ed. OS 6-inch map as a large D-shaped enclosure (TN041-028), the site appears to have been somewhat modified to conform to the existing field pattern. In the interior of the enclosure there is a ruinous stone wall (W 1m crest, 2m base; int. H 0.62m; ext. H 0.5m) running 11.8m E-W with SW angle. There is a local tradition that this was a church (according to landowner). According to the landowner c.10 pieces of iron slag were found in interior of the site. The size of the site and local tradition suggest this could be an ecclesiastical enclosure. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
