Church

What is recorded here

Mortuary temples and church ruins scatter the west, yet this site resists easy categorisation. Dense vegetation and high ground hide a short wall section, possibly part of an early ecclesiastical enclosure near Ballinrobe. The church itself has vanished, leaving only a fragment of stone and a suggestion of sacred boundaries. What remains is enough to mark the place, but not enough to explain what stood there or who built it.
On high ground, in dense vegetation. Enclosed by possible early ecclesiastical enclosure (MA117-031005-). Short section of walling is all that survives of church. The above description has been derived from D. Lavelle (compiler), An Archaeological Survey of Ballinrobe and District including Lough Mask and Lough Carra. Lough Mask and Lough Carra Tourist Development Association (1994), No. 624. Date of upload: 23 January 2013
