What is recorded here

According to MacDonagh (1936, 198), there is a tradition of a church (SL033-167----) and graveyard in 'a field called Killack, the church of the flagstones'. Here, the outline of a large circular enclosure (SL033-167002-), possibly an ecclesiastical enclosure, can still be traced at ground level, but there is no visible trace of a church (SL033-167----) or graveyard (SL033-167001-).
