What is recorded here

Carlow farmland still drops bones and quern fragments when ploughed, feeding the old claim that a church and graveyard once stood there. The land remembers what people forgot: a worship place, a burial ground, and the daily hands that turned grain or set crosses. The missing building does not weaken the site; it sharpens it. What is lost can still be identified because the earth keeps returning its parts.

The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 16 December 2009 Revised by: J.
