What is recorded here
Situated on the S bank of a meandering NE-SW tidal river c. 60m from the stream. Lewis (1837a, vol. 1, 45) records that the present Church of Ireland church was built in 1764 on the site of a castle (WX032-031003-) but the 1839 and 1925 eds of the OS 6-inch map record the site of a church (WX032-031001-) at the same location. There is no visible trace of an older church or castle at ground level within a raised rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 70m N-S; c. 45-70m E-W) defined by a masonry wall, and the present church was probably built in the developing village of Castlebridge at a location that may have had a castle but was not an ancient church site.
