What is recorded here

Whitechurch preserves a medieval church, graveyard and holy well beside vanished curving field banks now hidden under pasture. The earthworks still appear in a 1971 aerial photograph, suggesting the church stood within a lived landscape rather than alone on a ridge. People may have walked past those banks to pray, bury or tend land, while later fencing erased the shape they gave the place.

Visible on a 1971 aerial photograph (CUCAP BGN 76) as a series of low earthworks with curving banks immediately outside, to the NW of, a possible ecclesiastical enclosure (KD014-022002-) which contains a possible holy well (KD014-022004-), a graveyard (KD014-022005-), a medieval fortified church (KD014-022001-) and a baptismal font (KD014-022007-). Just off the crest at the E end of a low, E-W pasture ridge. Land improvement has resulted in local field boundaries being removed with some replaced by wire-and-post fencing. No visible surface traces were noted. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
