What is recorded here

On a gentle SW-facing slope, just off the crest of a flat-topped hill, in very wet, waterlogged, rush infested field. There is a low hill immediately to the SE. There are very good views in all directions except upslope to the N. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 161-2), in this townland, ‘The church stood beside Kiltown road, in a field called the “Grave field.” It “was the second church named in Rome.” (Tradition). No trace whatever of it remains, but the site is marked by a graveyard [KK005-054002-]’. There is no visible trace of the church or graveyard at ground level.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
