What is recorded here

On flat reclaimed grassland with good views from N through E to W, higher ground to N. A nearby castle (TS052-03001-) is 700m to NNW. This church is not visible at ground level. Described in the OS letters as 'the ruins of an old building called by the natives Ballymore Church. It extends north and south and measures on the outside fifty five feet [16.75m] in length and thirty feet [9.1m] in breadth and the walls are four feet two inches [1.27m] in thickness. The south gable is in tolerable preservation but the north gable and the sidewalls are destroyed nearly down to the foundations. There was a window in the south gable but it is now destroyed except its east side, which is constructed of chiselled limestone' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 102).

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
