Church (in ruins)

In flat terrain with a stream running N-S 50m to the E, in the Ivowen valley, under tillage. The church (TS079-014----) was located along the N boundary of the graveyard towards the W end. According to the OS Letters c. 1840, the ruins of the church were visible 'measuring thirty seven feet [11.3m] in length and eighteen feet six inches [5.6m] in breadth on the inside. Two fragments of the south wall remain which are three feet [0.9m] in thickness and about twelve feet [3.5m] in height. They are built of very large gritstones cemented with lime and sand mortar. There was no one buried here in the memory of anyone living' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 63). The church is no longer visible at ground level nor is there a trace of the graveyard (TS079-014001-). According to local information the remains of the church were removed c. 40 years ago, c. 1960s. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
