What is recorded here

According to ITA Survey (1945), founded by St Abban in the early sixth century. Subsequently attached to St Thomas' Abbey, Dublin. It is depicted by a dashed line on the 1839 'OS 6-inch' map, rectangular in shape with the church (CW018-017001-) in the NW angle. O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 119) refers to 'a small and little-frequented graveyard attached to the old site'. By the latest 6-inch ed. the graveyard is roughly D-shaped (map dims. 26m E-W along straight N side, c. 24m N-S) and the church is no longer visible, being depicted by a cross. No visible traces of either church or graveyard. Single eighteenth-century headstone lies on site. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 August 2011

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
