What is recorded here
Oldleighlin is an ecclesiastical enclosure in County Carlow, Ireland. A curve in the cathedral churchyard wall may still follow the line of an Early Christian boundary. That much is visible; the rest is lost beneath later building and forgotten hands.
A curve in the S and E boundary wall of the cathedral churchyard may reflect the line of an Early Christian enclosure. (Bradley 1989, 44)
