What is recorded here

In flat terrain with a stream running N-S 50m to the E, in Ivowen valley, under tillage. A graveyard is indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as roughly rectangular area delineated by a dashed line, suggesting it was unenclosed. The church (TS079-014----), which is no longer visible, was located along the N boundary of the graveyard towards the W end. Neither the church or graveyard are visible at ground level, however, an area (dims. 38m x 45m) occupied by the former church has been left untilled, though it is not fenced off.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS079-014001
