Associated with the medieval church (KK008-066001-) and graveyard (KK008-066002-), which, according to the OS Letters (1839) is known as 'Teampall na Ratha' or the church of the rath, probably in reference to the ringfort (KK008-142----) 30m N of the church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 116-17 (39)). At time of inspection in 1987 the graveyard was heavily overgrown with vegetation. In a description of the graveyard, Carrigan (ibid.) mentions that, 'Within the churchyard wall there is also a great leacht [KK008-066005-] or monumental heap of loose stones, but tradition is silent as to its origin'. This may be the mound (dims. 3m N-S; 7m E-W; H 0.5m) noted during the field inspection at the E end of the S side of the graveyard wall, though the sketch plan suggests that this mound is outside rather than within the graveyard.
