Ecclesiastical enclosure in Cowpark

The National Museum of Ireland topographical files for Killeen Church (LI011-065001-) recorded that traces of a circle or enclosure are visible on OS sheet in close proximity to Killeen Church. The curving arc of an earthen bank 27m to the NW of the church is visible from WNW-NW on Digital Globe aerial photograph. This curving bank is depicted as a contour line on the current ed. OS 6-inch map and may have formed part of an ecclesiastical enclosure surrounding Killeen Church. No surface remains visible of any enclosure. An old quarry is now located in the area to the NW of the church which is visible as an area of scrub vegetation on Digital Globe aerial photograph.
