What is recorded here
Situated on a knoll on the floor of Glencar valley. A square graveyard (dims 32mN-S; 32m E-W), defined by mortared stone walls (H 1.4m), is possibly on the site of an early ecclesiastical site founded by St Osnat or Osnad in the 6th century (LE006-015001-). The graveyard has been extended to the W (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 30m N-S). The head of a stone cross (LE006-015003-) is thought to have been moved from here to the Roman Catholic church of Dromahair (NMI file), where it cannot now be found.
