Ecclesiastical enclosure in Askinvillar Upper

Located on a gentle E-facing slope at the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. This is an early ecclesiastical site, although the saint is not known. The graveyard (WX018-001002-) is marked faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map with a church building (WX018-001001-) inside it. Traces of a circular ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 70m) are visible as a band of subsoil on the surface when the field is ploughed. The site of St. Doran's Well (WX018-001003-) is just outside the enclosure at NNW. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 22 May, 2012
