In improved pasture, on E-facing slope of a hillock. Mentioned as the 'Archbishops manor of Camus' in the 1291 Papal Taxation under the Parish of St. Patrick's Rock and may have been a monastic site (ibid, cited from Cashel and Emly Atlas 1970, viii and ix). According to the OS Letters (vol. 1, 314), parts of the foundations of an old church were visible within the graveyard. Cahill (1982) states that this is the 'site of a church and disused graveyard enclosed by a barely visible sub-rectangular earthwork. No traces of foundations or other earthworks visible'. According to Meskell (2003, 16), land reclamation work in the mid 1980s removed all traces of the graveyard. At the time of the reclamation, quantities of stone and human bones were uncovered (ibid.). The church is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011
