According to Carrigan 'The foundations of what was traditionally known as 'Durrow Monastery' (LA029-042), remained till 1835, about 60 yards north-west of the churchyard of Durrow, between the base of the 'Castle Hill' and the small stone bridge crossing the Erkina at this point. The ancient parish church (LA029-045) of Durrow, dedicated to St. Fintan, stood within the present churchyard. This latter church continued in use till between 1792 and 1798, when it was replaced by its present successor' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 213). 19th century C of I church located in NE quadrant of a large rectangular graveyard (dims. 46M N-S ; 77M E-W) enclosed by a high stone wall located just off the town green of Durrow village. Current church probably built on the site of the medieval church (LA025-049) of Durrow. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 17 December 2007
