What is recorded here

Situated on a small level platform with a sharp drop immediately to the N. The platform (dims. 30m E-W; 20m N-S) is known locally as the site of a church but there are no visible traces at ground level. Ronan (1927, 113) quotes a description of a small unmortared church in this townland, which may have disappeared by the 'Visitation' of 1630. There is a spring in a rock outcrop c. 70m N of the site. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 17 December 2008
A local church or high cross; wider significance not recorded.

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.
