What is recorded here

According to O'Rorke (1878, 221-2; 396-8), when trees were being planted here c. 1840, 'extensive brick foundations' were dug up and the ground was levelled off; there are brickworks 2km to the WNW in Tullaghan. These foundations were thought to be the remains of a church associated with St Lassara, though it is very unlikely that such a church would have had brick foundations. O'Rorke (ibid., 397) associates this church with St Anne's Well (SL026-151----). There are no visible remains of a church in the area. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
