What is recorded here
No stone or shadow marks the church behind Tinnacross House, yet the absence suggests a building tall enough to cast a line across the ground. People may have worshipped there before memory faded, leaving only a vacant patch of soil where devotion once stood.
No surface remains visible of any church located to the rear of Tinnacross House.
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.
