What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle SW-facing slope. The modern housing estate which now occupies most of the site is believed locally to be built on the site of a church and graveyard. Not visible at ground level. The 1907 OS 6-inch map shows an approximately semicircular curve in the field boundary which may represent the line of an enclosure and the adjacent field is named 'Glebe' on the 1838 edition. A cross-slab (H 1.22m), said to be situated in the graveyard (O'Flanagan 1928, 28), stands to the E of the estate between it and the road. It has an irregular cross in relief on the upper part of one face flanked under the arms by two raised bosses.
