What is recorded here

According to Killanin and Duignan (1967, 133) the church at Whitechurch (TS81-010001-) is surrounded by 'an ancient, circular enclosure'. It is possible that the present stone-walled graveyard (TS081-010003-) forms the SW quadrant of a larger, roughly circular enclosure. Faint traces of this possible enclosure are visible on the N side of the road, opposite the church, on an aerial photograph (CUCAP 19 July 1970 BDS 24).
