What is recorded here

Situated in the valley of the NW-SE River Blackwater with the NW-SE stream c. 50m to the NE. An early monastery (ME016-006----) was plundered by Vikings in AD 949 and by Dermot MacMurrough in 1170. The grass-grown remains of a structure (ext. dims 14.5m E-W; 7.5m N-S) are in a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 65m E-W; c. 45m N-S) defined by earthen banks and hedges. Three high crosses, the base of another, a cross slab and an ogham stone are displayed in the graveyard. (Harbison 1970, 180-1) Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 4 June, 2014
