What is recorded here

Shown on the 1st. ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map as a long, curving arc of field boundary (est. L c. 200m N-E-SE) which at SE forms the SE limits of a graveyard (KD014-022005-), and contains a possible holy well (KD014-022004-), a medieval fortified church (KD014-022001-) and a baptismal font (KD014-022007-). Visible on a 1971 aerial photograph (CUCAP BGM 76) which also shows a possible associated field system (KD014-022003-) immediately to the NW. Just off the crest at the E end of a low, E-W pasture ridge. The boundary has been removed and even the graveyard which it enclosed has shrunk to the W. Archaeological test-trenching (Licence No. 00E0708: www.archaeology.ie) and subsequent monitoring of topsoil stripping (Licence No. 00E0708 ext.: www.archaeology.ie) associated with a private development 50-80m away, in the adjoining field to the E, revealed nothing of archaeological significance.
