O Turdilly for dower on Moreton prope Any, the property of Walter de Bonevile, 1327 (Mem. R., i Ed.

There is a stone circle [LI032-099---] not far to the east of the church'. Church ruins described by O'Kelly (1943, 178) as following; 'The walls of this church remain to a height of about 7' [2.1m] but are completely shrouded in ivy. No architectural features remain which would indicate the date of erection. It is probable that the original parish church stood on this site. It is surrounded by a graveyard [LI032-095003-] still in use'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 26 April 2019
