What is recorded here

Situated at the E end of an E-W ridge with a graveyard positioned partly on top of the ridge and continuing downslope to the base. A holy well (TN040-012003) lies to the SE. A roughly square-shaped graveyard (TN040-012002) surrounded by a stone wall. It is sparsely populated with nineteenth and twentieth-century headstones and some rough stone markers. There are no pre-nineteenth-century headstones visible and there are no architectural fragments in the graveyard or in the wall, though this is largely obscured by ivy. The church was presumably situated on level ground in the NW quadrant of the graveyard at the top of the ridge. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
