Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 88-9) suggests that the 13th-century chapel of Tullabarry, 'may have stood in the present townland of Moat, on the green ridge to the west of, and bounding, the Railway, and stretching south from the arched gateway underneath the Railway tract. This ridge, which is about 80yds. long, was a wilderness of bushes and briars till the year 1825, when it was cleared and cultivated. While levelling towards the northern end, the workmen - one of whom was my informant - came upon a burial place [KK005-056----] of some extent. The skeletons lay along, beside each other, about two feet under the surface. There were no headstones, and no remains of foundations of walls. It is possible that this was the site of Tullabarry chapel, with its consecrated cemetery; but, from the description just given, the likelihood is that it was merely a place used for the internment of warriors slain in some battle of far off times'. This chapel is also recorded as KK004-032----. The location of this chapel is unknown.
