Church (Site of) — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

On a rock outcrop in County Offaly, a church vanished so completely that grass now hides its wall footings. The best surviving piece measures six metres long on the south-east edge, yet the building's true shape has slipped from human memory. Whatever prayers once echoed there have faded into the undulating countryside, leaving behind only a low stone ribbon and the quiet suspicion that someone stood beside it, listening.

Situated on a natural rock outcrop in undulating countryside. All that remains are several grass covered wall footings of a building the outline of which was not discernible. The best preserved portion is located on the SE side of the rock outcrop and measures 6m long by 1m high by 1m thick. No other features visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
