Situated at the crest of an E-facing slope within a trivallate enclosure (see WA027-003010-) which has been suggested as 'the site of an early church' (Power 1952, 215). Excavations undertaken on the site in 1940 by M.J. Bowman uncovered a series of postholes which he considered represented a rectangular wooden structure and interpreted as the remains of an early wooden church (Curtin 2015, 31). Power, on the other hand, was more circumspect with regard to its interpretation suggesting that it might indicate a 'primitive oratory, residence or cattle shed' (Power 1941, 63-4), a sentiment echoed by Ó Carragáin (2010, 137). (Power 1941, 1952; Moore 1999, 165-6; Curtin 2015)
