What is recorded here

Situated on an E-facing slope at the base of a high NE-SW ridge. Named on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as 'Site of Church & Graveyard'. A small subcircular area (dims. 18.3m NW-SE; 14m NE-SW) defined by a wall (Wth 2m; H 0.2m) within a much larger D-shaped area (dims. 56m NW-SE; 17m NE-SW) backing on to a stream (straight side) at the NE. There is no trace of a church and no grave-markers, the only internal feature being a line of stones which may have been part of a plinth. Local information suggests it may have been used until the turn of the century for the burial of unbaptised infants.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WI039-020001
