What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle W-facing slope overlooking a broad valley. A rectangular church (WI019-018001-) with a splayed doorway in the S wall, and a splayed window towards the E end of the N wall. It contains a possible subrectangular granite font (WI019-018003-) and a holy water stoup (WI019-018004-) in the NE corner. Described in the Ordnance Survey Letters of 1838-40 'a burying place on the south side, but it is now unfrequented and overgrown with thorns' (O'Flanagan 1928, 94). The graveyard was described in 1928 as 'the old graveyard on the south side is now disused' (Ronan 1928, 139). Date of upload: 28 September 2012
A possible subrectangular stone chamber tomb, likely dating to the Early Christian period. Its association with a rectangular church suggests a possible ecclesiastical or ceremonial significance in a later medieval context.
