Church (in ruins)

Ecclesiastical enclosure

What is recorded here

No visible church remains, only a broken stone circle and two graveslabs beside a holy well at the bottom of a valley. The place still carries the shape of prayer: a narrow enclosure, a water source, and burials set beside what may have been a worship room. People likely came here to drink, bury, and keep a sacred boundary alive long after any building disappeared.
Situated at the bottom of a valley on a S facing slope overlooking the N bank of the County Brook. Ecclesiastical enclosure (40m N-S x 72m SW-NE) associated with a church (DU028-002002-) two graveslabs (DU028-002006-, DU028-002005-) and a holy well (DU028-002003-). The church is noted as being enclosed until the turn of the century when it was referred to as a cashel (Anon 1900, 187).
