What is recorded here
In a graveyard (MA004-006002-). This church is named ‘O Galligans Church’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, although no structure is indicated within the graveyard, shown as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35-40m. On the 1921 edition, a cross-symbol, annotated ‘O’Galligan’s Church (Site of)’, is shown in the NE corner of the graveyard, which at this stage had expanded to a subrectangular walled area. No remains are now visible of the church, but it appears to have been located at or close to a grass-covered stony mound (MA004-006003-) in the NE corner of the graveyard.
