In woodland. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 441), in Greatwood townland, 'there is a field called the Bawnakilleen, that is, the field of the Killeen or little church. Tradition states that there was an ancient church here, and that a small circular enclosure, like a rath, still remaining, marks the place in which it stood'. The enclosure (KK022-019002-) is heavily overgrown with trees and scrub, surrounded by intensively planted woodland. The church is not indicated on the 1st (1839) or revised (1899-1900) ed. of the OS 6-inch map.
