According to Flanagan (1984, 112) there was an early church site on the present site of St. Sylvester's RC Church. No architectural remains survive (O'Reilly 1910, 147-165). Test excavation (Licence no. 10E0426) was undertaken in advance of an extension to the modern church. Two post-medieval masonry walls, interpreted as the remains of the early 19th-century church building that previously occupied the site, a small undated pit/drainage gully and a silty deposit that may date from the medieval period, were identified. No burial remains were uncovered. Further testing (Licence no. 11E0326) uncovered medieval structural remains, ditch pits and 18th/19th century masonry walls.
