What is recorded here

In the field immediately to the W of the church (LF013-045002-) and graveyard (LF013-045009-). Described in 1975 (SMR file) as a rectangular enclosure (30m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by a low bank. It extended to the W wall of the graveyard and was considered to represent the remains of a possible domestic building associated with the 'abbey' or an earlier church. Present remains consist of a low elevated platform. Compiled by: Patrick F. O'Donovan Date of upload: 7 December 2012
A local fairy fort (ringfort/rath); wider significance not recorded.
