Poorly preserved graveyard with no evidence of a church (OF026-033001-) however the wall footings of a building are visible in the N sector of the graveyard. This building is not a church because it is orientated on a N-S axis. The earliest datable gravestone dates to 1795. No other features visible. This burial ground is indicated on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map as 'Killeen Grave Yard'. Test excavation that was undertaken by Dominic Delany under licence no. 01E0431 on the site of a proposed new dwelling at Sranure, Co. Offaly, on 28 May 2001 revealed remains of possible ecclesiastical enclosure (OF026-033002-). The development site lies immediately east of a church site (OF026-033----) and graveyard (OF026-033001-) and there is a holy well (OF026-034----) in the field to the north.
