What is recorded here

Situated towards the top of the W-facing slope of a hill. The 12th century parish church of Cruicetown is within a subcircular graveyard (dims c. 40m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) defined by a masonry wall, with traces of an internal bank N-E. According to Dopping’s Visitation (1682-5) the church was dedicated to St. James, it had been in ruins since 1641 and it was not enclosed (Ellison 1972, 8).
