What is recorded here

In pasture, to the E of the fortified house known as Ballyannan Castle (CO076-020003-). The site of the ancient parish church (CO076-020006-) and graveyard of Mogeesha is shown on the Down Survey (1655-6) map in the location later occupied by the fortified house. Power (1923, 186) noted that 'there are absolutely no remains' of the church or gravyeard. The location of the church and graveyard has been identified by Paul MacCotter (pers. comm.) and it consists of a small triangular plateau (L 34m, 36m and 30m on E, W and S sides, respectively). There are no visible remains of any graves or gravemarkers.
