What is recorded here

Situated towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope with a WNW-ESE stream to the S, on the early ecclesiastical site known as 'Cíll Eoghan' (Power 1952, 416). The ecclesiastical enclosure is a subcircular grass-covered area (ext. dims. c. 77m N-S; 53m E-W) bisected E-W by the Rathgormuck-Clonmel road (R678). N of the road the area is defined by a widely spread bank (Wth 8m; H 0.3-0.5m); S of the road the bank is reduced to a scarp at E and an irregular scarp at W. Centrally located in the S half is an overgrown cairn (WA002-040007-), which may contain the remains of the church (WA002-040001-). On the W side of the cairn is a conglomerate double bullaun stone (WA002-040005-). The possible megalithic structures (WA002-040006-) and (WA002-040008-) were within the enclosure (Lyons 1948, 178), but these features do not survive, and the classification is unlikely. There is no evidence of a graveyard (WA002-040002-), but the site of Tobar Eóin Well (WA002-040004-) is just outside the enclosure at SW. Power, P. (1952) The placenames of the Decies. (second ed.)
