According to Power (1908, 9-10) the field is known as the 'Field of the Early Church Site' and was sacred to St. Bearachan. He goes on to say that the church was situated by the W side of a little stream and associated with it were some quern stones (TS078-061003-), a stone cross (TS078-061002-) and a stone object resembling a chalice (ibid.). The latter object was located in Waterford Museum (ibid.). There is no visible trace of a church at ground level in the vicinity of the stone cross. The church remains unlocated within this area.

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.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
