What is recorded here
An earthen bank projects north beneath the graveyard wall at An Fál Mór, perhaps marking an enclosure contemporary with the Romanesque church. The drystone wall now covers part of that older ridge, while grass still holds the shape of a boundary made for worship rather than ownership.
Located on the N side of a graveyard (MA033-001002-).
The drystone enclosing wall (Wth 0.9m; ext. H 0.9m) on the N side of the graveyard, overlies an grass-covered earthen bank (ext. H 0.4m), which projects 2.2m to N from beneath the graveyard wall. The earthen bank may be the remains of an ecclesiastical enclosure, perhaps contemporary an early phase of religious foundation at this location or with the current Romanesque church (MA033-001001-).
