What is recorded here

Indicated is a graveyard where a round tower, St. Daeg’s early church and the medieval parish church of Inishkeen still stand inside a sub-triangular enclosure of masonry walls. The Faun River bends fifty metres to the northeast, as if keeping the dead company while the living pass on the south bank. Three mausoleums line the ground southeast of the present church, marking later families who chose to remain beside older faith.

Situated on the S bank in a loop of the NW-SE Faun River, with the stream c. 50m to the NE. The round tower (MO029-021002-) together with the sites of St. Daeg’s early church and the medieval parish church of Inishkeen (MO029-031001-) are within a sub-triangular graveyard (max. dims c. 70m N-S; c. 65m E-W) defined by masonry walls and with a right-angle at the SW. The three mausoleums (ME029-031003-) are in a line just SE of the present church building. A gradiometer survey (17R0133) by J. M. Leigh in the playing field just to the S was dominated by modern disturbance and no archaeological features were recognised.
