What is recorded here

Unlocated church within towland that is described by Carrigan as 'There was a church here dedicated to St. Canice. The field in which it stood is called Kilkinnybeg, that is, St. Kenny's little Church. Not a vestige of the church remains. Alsight elevation covered with grass of a greener hue than that growing elsewhere in the field, marks the ancient graveyard (LA035-061003-). The plot occupies the south-east angle of an enclosure (LA035-061002-) a couple of acres in extent, surrounded by an earthen rampart which, though now almost entirely destroyed, can be traced all around' (Carrigan 1905 vol. 2, 310).

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.
