In a minor valley through which a small stream formerly flowed SW just to the N, and on the site of the early monastic foundation of 'Cell céli críst', where a preceptory of Knights Hospitallers (KD020-007003-) was subsequently founded. Contains the ruins of a church (KD020-007002-) which, upon excavation (Manning 1982, 173-229), was found to be the result of several building-phases dating from the Early Christian through the Romanesque and high medieval periods to the 17th c. A section of the Pale Boundary (KD020-008----) runs nearby, to the S and W. A roughly rectangular area (dims. L c. 40m NE-SW; Wth c. 35m NW-SE) is enclosed by a stone wall. Manning (op cit 213-16) identified 23 headstones, one recumbent stone and an iron cross, and recorded all legible inscriptions. The dates on the headstones ranged from 1714 to 1954.
