What is recorded here

Unlocated church within townland that is described by Carrigan as 'The church (LA033-031001-) stood in Mr. Michael Guilfoil's "church acre", within an irregular area, an acre in extent, enclosed by a rampart and fosse still traceable. The exact site of the church and graveyard cannot be determined, as the enclosure (LA033-031003-) is covered over with little mounds and remains of foundations, and no graves or head-stones are now to be seen' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 346).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LA033-031002
