What is recorded here

Kilnamarve, a lost church reduced to a displaced block of masonry and a partial wall embedded in a long stone bank, still marks the place where worship once gathered. The ruins lie southeast of the townland, preserved as a national monument though time has scattered most of its structure. What remains is small enough to overlook, yet large enough to prove that faith once shaped this landscape.
Indicated and named ‘Church (site of)’ on the OS 25-inch map. A block of displaced masonry (L 0.8m; H 0.7m; T 0.7m) forms part of a stone bank extending N-S c. 17m SE from Kilnamarve (CL067-024010-) (ASIAP (262) 24). This and a portion of wall (L 1m; H 0.35m) protruding from the top section may be part of the remains of the church. This is a national monument in state care, no. 10. Compiled by: Mary Tunney Date of upload: 19 September 2016 This monument is subject to a preservation order made under the National Monuments Acts 1930 to 2014 (PO no. 1/1971).
