What is recorded here

A bishop of 'Tuaim-fobhair' [Toomour] was ordained by St Kevin of Glendalough in the 6th century (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 407). The outline of the N arc of this enclosure is visible on the OSI 1995 aerial photograph and it is possible that its footprint is represeneted by the field boundaries to the S of the road. Within the possible enclosure are the graveyard (SL040-140004-) and the medieval parish church of Toomour (SL040-140001-), a leacht cuimhne (SL040-140003-), on top of which is a set of holy stones (SL040-140006-), and three cross inscribed stones (SL040-140005-; SL040-140009-; SL040-040010-).
