What is recorded here

In 1971, an aerial photograph revealed a substantial oval earthen bank stretching 148 metres around the church in County Dublin. Later development levelled that ancient boundary, erasing the visible trace of the sacred enclosure. The earth forgot the shape of devotion while human hands busy themselves building elsewhere.

An aerial photograph (BKS 2177 6139) taken in 1971 shows a substantial oval earthen bank (diam. 148m) which enclosed the church (DU022-036001-). This has been levelled during later development leaving no visible trace above ground. Compiled by Geraldine Stout Date of upload: 26th April 2012
