Situated immediately N of the Saint’s Graveyard (CL029-009030-) on Inis Cealtra. An overgrown enclosure (diam. c. 15m) defined by a stony bank was excavated by de Paor between 1972 and 1976 (Licence no. E000180) (de Paor 2013, 37). Excavation revealed a drystone wall similar to the enclosures (CL029-009004- and CL029-009007-) around St. Brigid’s and St. Michael’s churches. Some paving survived around the perimeter. The ‘Confessional’ (CL029-009017-) lay in the SW quadrant of the enclosure. According to de Paor (ibid.) this was a development associated with remodelling for the purpose of pilgrimage rounds in the 17th/18th century. There was no evidence of an earlier enclosure at this location and there is no enclosure extant.
