What is recorded here

The drystone wall that defines the graveyard (GA120-002002-) associated with ‘Cill Ghobnait’, the church (GA120-002001-) located in its NE quadrant, may mirror the line of an earlier, roughly subrectangular ecclesiastical enclosure (c. 48m NW-SE; 40m NE-SW). The interior is uneven and the ground level in the SW sector is c. 3m higher than that to the NE. An almost vertical natural crag separates the two sections. Apart from the church, three leachta (GA120-002007-, GA120-002008-, GA120-002009-) and two bullauns (GA120-002004-, GA120-002005-) are associated.
