What is recorded here

Located on a knoll (diam. of top c. 20m) in pasture towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of a drumlin ridge. It is depicted by a dotted line as a rectangular enclosure (dims c. 35m NW-SE; c. 25m NE-SW) described as a 'Grave Yard' in italic lettering only on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. There is a vague tradition that Mass may have been celebrated here and it may have been an early Roman Catholic church (Gallogly 1991, 11). A N-S laneway runs over the location and no archaeological feature is visible at ground level.
