What is recorded here

Located in the N portion of a D-shaped graveyard the present remains consist of the foundation courses of a rectangular structure of granite rubble (max. H 1m) (dims. 20.3m E-W; 8.4m N-S; chancel L 11.2m), aligned E-W, and divided into two roughly equal chambers. To the NE of the graveyard, slag, burnt clay, and some medieval sherds were noted in the ploughsoil. To the NW of graveyard, a distinct circular patch (diam. 15m) of dark soil was noted on a slight rise after ploughing, possibly a fulacht fia (CW001-003003-). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In this instance the entry has been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Revised by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 16 December 2009
