What is recorded here

In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope overlooking Lough Gara and within a graveyard (SL046-014002-) and an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL046-014003-). The only apparent mention of a church here comes from 1836 when it was described as 'the ruins of an old Church...' (OSL, 235). It is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, nor is any church ruin mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 383-4).
