What is recorded here
Located on high ground with holy well (OF014-019----) to S and Childrens Burial ground (OF014-016----) to N. Poorly preserved remains of a rectangular church (OF014-017001-) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble. Known locally as St. Brigids church and may be associated with penal times as mentioned in the ITA Survey (1942). No evidence of any enclosure surrounding the church. Circular field boundary enclosing the church may be the remains of an enclosing element around the church or they may be 19th century field boundary. This roughly circular field boundary is not shown on the 1838 edition of the ordnance survey 6-inch map.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
