Situated on a slight rise in average pasture-land, modern farmyard stands on site of possible graveyard located immediately W of possible ecclesiastical enclosure (WM002-015---). The 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map shows that the farmyard is located in the NW quadrant of the glebe lands associated with Kilmore Church (WM002-015001-). These glebe lands and the medieval church of Kilmore are depicted on the 1653-9 Down Survey map of Street parish. On this map the medieval church is depicted standing to the S of the glebe land which measures 5 acres in size. The precise location of Kilmore church has not been identified. According to the landowner several skulls were unearthed near the perimeter of the enclosure while making part of the farmyard to the W. These skulls may belong to a graveyard associated with the medieval church of Kilmore (WM001-015001-). This would indicate that the church was located in the area where the modern farmyard stands today.
