What is recorded here

The graveyard (DG080-013009-) here at Glencolumbkille Church of Ireland (National Monument no. 139) (DG080-013004-) is said to occupy the site of an ancient ecclesiastical site founded by St. Colmcille (Lacy 1983, 289). It has been said (Herity 1971, 14) that some traces of a circular enclosure survives although no sign of these were noted during the survey (Lacy 1983, 289).

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