What is recorded here

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 421), the townland of Bramblestown was subdivided into Bramblestown (proper), Powersbog and Kilcroney. He states that, ‘The church of Kilcroney, in Bramblestown, was obliterated ages ago. Its site, however, is still pointed out on a gentle rise in a field of Andrew Moylan’s, known as the “Rillig.”. Human bones and rude head-stones have been uprooted here from time to time. There is no holy well, nor tradition of the patron saint’. The precise location of this church KK024-096001-) and graveyard within Bramblestown townland is unknown.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK024-096002
