What is recorded here
According to Power (1908, 9-10) the field is known as the 'Field of the Early Church Site' and was sacred to St. Bearachan. He goes on to say that the church (TS078-061001-)was situated by the W side of a little stream and associated it were some quern stones (TS078-061003-), a stone cross (TS078-061002-) and a stone object resembling a chalice (ibid.). The latter object was located in Waterford Museum (ibid.). The cross of red sandstone is T-shaped (Wth 0.38m; H 0.26m; D 0.08m), typical of Tau Crosses.
