What is recorded here

Gwynn and Hadcock (1988, 330) refer to Rathronan as being a manor of the Templars and 'during his brief tenure after the accession of Q. Elizabeth, Prior Massingberd of Kilmainham leased out the tithes of Rathernonane and other places: Fiant Q.Eliz. 2208'. Power (1908, 5) and the OS Letters mention this as the location of an earlier church (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 51). On top of a hill in a commanding position, with good views in every direction. The present church is a late 18th-century C of I church in ruins. There is no visible trace of an earlier church. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 26 August 2011

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.
