Ecclesiastical enclosure

What is recorded here

Situated on high ground at SE end of Church Island 7m W of the E shoreline at SE end of Lough Owel. Church Island lies 570m W of the shoreline with the townland of Ballynagall. The oval-shaped form of the graveyard (WM012-167001-) boundary wall S of St. Loman's oratory (WM012-067----) possibly indicates the presence of an Early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure (Swan 1988, 24). There are also indications of a low embankment of bank of earth & stone which may have acted as an enclosure around the perimeter of the island, but no definite facing stones or wall survive.
