What is recorded here

Grattan (1915, 80) noted an ancient cemetery in Tombrian (i.e. Tombreen) which was known locally as Aughteduff. This very overgrown and almost impenetrable area on a S facing slope, on a slight terrace above a small stream, is still referred to as an old church site and now known as 'Augherteeduck' (pers. comm. C. Corlett).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WI047-020
