What is recorded here

McCaffrey (1952, 232) recorded a 'House site of 42' [c. 12.8m] x 18' [c. 5.5m] overall, wall 3' [c. 0.9m]wide and 2' [c. 0.6m] feet high' near the church (GA104-151001-); his co-ordinates placed it just to its S. However, in his note on the Man-made underground passage (GA104-151002-), which lies c 28m to the W of the church, he recorded that: 'There is no Man-made underground passage evident but a house site … is present', which suggests that the house site and Man-made underground passage occupied the same location or were very close to one another. Both areas were checked out but the house site was not located.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record GA104-151004
