What is recorded here

Keelhilla church stands trapped inside a low mossy wall at the foot of a living scree slope in County Clare. The stones mark a boundary rather than a room, sweeping from the falling rock behind the building toward a possible entrance at the east. That much is visible; the rest belongs to time, memory and the people who stopped using the line.

Situated at the base of a natural scree slope beneath a rock face. A low wall (H 0.6m; Wth 1m) of large moss-covered blocks enclosing the church at Keelhilla (CL006-023001-). It extends from the base of the natural scree SW of the church to a point ENE of the church, passing 10m from its E gable. A further stretch of wall exists to the N of the church and two shorter sections to the E may form an entrance feature. The enclosure is linked to a network of fields around the church but the dating sequence of the various walls is unclear.
