What is recorded here

Described by Carrigan in the History and Antiquities of the Diocese of Ossory as in 'The townland of Kylebeg derives its name from a church that stood here many centuries ago. The site, known to but very few, is in "the old churchyard," in Mr. Bennett's "old meadow", about 20 perches north of the townland of Carhooreagh and adjoining a field in Kylebeg called "the ferny hill." There is no trace whatever of the church; and the churchyard has nothing to distinguish it from the surrounding land save a slight uneveness of surface, an aged hawthorn, and some remains of a a trench or fosse' (Carrigam 1905, vol. 2, 130-131).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
