Church in Aghafad

Within the SE quadrant of an ecclesiastical enclosure (LF013-034001-). A report in 1975 (SMR file) noted that a series of low banks of earth and stone, rectangular in plan and orientated on an E-W axis, possibly marked the site of a church. A smaller square structure, defined by an earthen bank, extended to the N from it. A low earthen bank running to the E off the NE corner of this structure was possibly a subdividing bank associated with the ecclesiastical enclosure. None of these features are visible at ground level. A cross-inscribed pillar (LF013-034003-) is associated.
