Though not marked on the OS maps, the site of a deserted burial ground is mentioned in the OSNB (Garfinny, 16). It lay in the SW corner of the townland close to the sea-shore and human bones had often been uncovered there. Graves and bones have also been uncovered in more recent times (local information). The church from which the townland derives its name is locally reputed to be located near the sea-shore (An Seabhac 1939, 138) and may be associated with the burial ground. (See also KE043-224001-)
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 901. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
