What is recorded here

Enclosure in Aghaterry is a ruined church and graveyard set inside a broken ancient wall in County Laois. The original boundary measured three quarters of an Irish acre and stood three feet three inches thick, but age and neglect have reduced much of it to foundations. The surviving church and graveyard occupy only the south-western part, now protected by a modern wall while the rest lies open to rain, root and forgetting.

Unlocated ecclesiastical enclosure within townland described by Carrigan as 'barony Church, in the southern extremity of the townland of Ballyconra, is a very substantial ruin. It stands within an ancient enclosure, three quarters of an Irish acre in area, round which ran a strong grouted wall 3 ft. 3 in. thick, but now broken down almost to the foundations. The graveyard (LA031-01002-) and church (LA031-01001-) at present occupy only the south-western portion - about one-third-of the enclosed area, and are surrounded by a modern wall, the remainder of the original enclosure is now unprotected' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 310).
