What is recorded here

Located on the E facing slope of rising ground in undulating countryside. Only the wall footings survive of a small church (OF045-007001-) built with large limestone boulders with rubble infill. Immediately to the SW are the remains of an irregular shaped enclosure defined by a scarp with loosely piled rubble on top. Portions of five quern stones were discovered amongst the rubble. No headstones or grave-markers were visible inside the enclosure (OF045-007002-) which defines the extent of the graveyard. Probable early medieval church with an enclosure that defines the extent of the medieval graveyard.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record OF045-007003
