What is recorded here

Kilmurry Church (Site of) is a church in Kilmurry, County Tipperary, Ireland. The site lies on a gentle northeast-facing slope under tillage beside the Cahir-Clonmel road. Power identified it as Mary's Church after foundations appeared during farming, though the name may be new and the exact location remained difficult to confirm. No building remains visible at ground level.
On fairly level ground on a gentle NE-facing slope in undulating terrain, under tillage. Church described by Power (1908, 31) as '“Mary's Church.” The name seems to be new, as a designation of the townland ... there was considerable difficulty in identifying the church site. It is in a small field adjoining the main Cahir-Clonmel road, on south side of the latter and on the farm of a man named Dahill. The foundations of the church were unearthed during farming operations, a few years since'. This church is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as 'Kilmurry Church (Site of)' on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. 6-inch OS map but this is possibly based on Power's rather tenuous reference.
