What is recorded here

Located on Church Island in Lough Sheelin, which is on the borders of counties Meath, Westmeath and Cavan, with county Longford c. 6km further W. The small church (ME008-001----) is on a N-facing slope on the overgrown island. According to O'Connell (1965, 178) 'there is a popular tradition there was a cemetery on the island, and it is marked as such on the Ordnance Survey maps. Owing to the present overgrown condition of the site it is impossible to ascertain its exact location, but it would appear to have extended northwest of the church where the ground is more level.’ Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload; 25 July, 2014
