What is recorded here

On a slight terrace on the E slopes of small NW-SE stream valley. The church, within a graveyard (KK015-010002-), is located immediately below a motte (KK015-011----). Apart from adjacent gardens and the heavily overgrown motte, the surrounding area is mainly reclaimed grassland. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 278-9), ‘The present chapel was built about 1817, by Fr. Henneberry, Adm., St. John’s, afterwards P.P., Callan. The chapel which preceded it, and which also stood within the graveyard, was in use early in the 18th century and, perhaps, long before; its remains have been entirely removed’. The earlier church is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 23 February 2016
