The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

What is recorded here

Associated with a medieval church (LF014-058001-) and graveyard (LF014-058002-). The roughly oval-shaped plan and size of the graveyard (63m N-S; 53m E-W), and the central location of the church within it, suggest the possibility that this is an early foundation. The stone wall defining the graveyard may have been constructed upon an earlier enclosing element.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LF014-058003
