What is recorded here

Site of Church is a church in Middlequarter, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked a faint fifteen-metre-wide rectangular structure inside an eighty-by-twenty-five-metre rectangular graveyard. That graveyard stood in pasture on a low plateau overlooking the Brickey River, which flowed about one hundred metres to the south. Nothing is visible at ground level, and Power connected the place to Cill Lasrach, or Lasser's Church, near Killoseragh.
