Read the whole record

Within NE area of active gravel quarry, surrounding land in undulating pasture. Area of monument presently covered by machinery and there is no visible trace of the graveyard above ground. A roughly rectangular area is depicted and named 'Graveyard' on the first edition OS 6-inch map (1840). 'Site of Corroge Church' depicted within and named. Depicted as marginally smaller rectangular area (c. 60m N-S; c. 50m E-W) with church site shown toward E side, on current OS 6-inch map. According to the OS Letters (c. 1840) 'there is no burial here now and there are no graves observable in the place, but the extent used as burial ground is still visible surrounded by a ditch and yields grass now, as does also the site of the Church lying about the centre of it' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 120). Monument clearly visible on aerial photograph taken in 1966 (CUCAP 13 July 1966, APA 14) but quarry was encroaching bady by 1974 (GSI 16.4.1974, R. 516/515). Enclosure (TS067-011001-) c. 180m to W, enclosure (TS067-011002-) c. 30m to W and motte and bailey (TS067-011003-) c. 100m to SW.
