Church in Radestown North

On a broad terrace on the NW side of a hill with land falling to the N and W down to a small river valley, in tillage. There are good views across the valley and along the hills but poor to the E and S where the land rises. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 267) and O'Kelly (1969, 92) the church was known as 'Teampall Bháin Fhada', which translates as the church of the long grassy field. Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 267) notes that, 'the walls of the church have been entirely uprooted, leaving no trace behind, save only three cut and chamfered limestone pieces of a mullioned window, that lie scattered around the graveyard'. There is no visible trace of the church within the triangular-shaped graveyard (KK014-066002-), however, a pronounced rise in the centre of the graveyard may cover the remains of the church.
