What is recorded here

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 421), the townland of Bramblestown was subdivided into Bramblestown (proper), Powersbog and Kilcroney. He states that, ‘The church of Kilcroney, in Bramblestown, was obliterated ages ago. Its site, however, is still pointed out on a gentle rise in a field of Andrew Moylan’s, known as the “Rillig.”. Human bones and rude head-stones have been uprooted here from time to time. There is no holy well, nor tradition of the patron saint’. The precise location of this church and graveyard (KK024-096002-) within Bramblestown townland is unknown. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 13 October 2021

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
