What is recorded here

On a possible early ecclesiastical site (KD011-002----) which also contains a medieval parish church (KD011-002003-). According to Fitzgerald (1896, 376), the site 'long ago contained a burial-ground but all traces of … interments have entirely disappeared'. There is no visible surface trace of burial markers or of any surface features that might indicate the extent of the graveyard.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KD011-002004
