Church in Oldcarton

In the N sector of a graveyard (KD006-007002-). A short length of ivy-clad wall (dims. L 2.5m N-S; H 4m; T 1m) built of irregularly coursed, mortared limestone blocks may be the remains of the E-gable of a church described as a 'chapel of ease' in the 1654 Civil Survey, although the OSL (Herity 2002, 18) record it as 'an old wall which belonged to a Nunnery (KD006-007003-) that was there formerly' , an assertion that may be supported by the existence of a possible holy well (KD006-011----) called 'Nun's Well' c. 240m to the SSW.
