What is recorded here
Clearance debris from a vanished boundary wall still marks the edge of Coill Bhaile Uí Fhlaithimh. Its straight quadrantal shape and a short line of horizontally laid stones suggest people worked the land there, not gods or ceremony. The ruined southeastern wall and scattered stones preserve an ordinary act of tidying, yet they outline a forgotten field and the hands that made it.
For descriptive account see O'Sullivan and Sheehan (1996, 385-7, no. 1132 (23)).
