What is recorded here

All that remains of this church is an overgrown rock outcrop with no definite evidence of wall footings or worked\cut stone. Described in 1942 as 'on a slight rise above marshy flats by river near castle (OF009-019001-). There are old thorns on the site, and banks mark wall foundations. On W seems a small rect. room c. 4 yds. square and perhaps extension of wall to E. Unenclosed' (ITA Survey 1942). The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
