What is recorded here

Larkin's map of 1808 shows a ruin (WM014-009001-) in the graveyard of Crowinstown Great (SMR file). Present remains consist of a small semi-circular shaped graveyard enclosed from S-W, N & NNE by the remains of a low bank set on a scarp with a shallow external fosse at its foot. From NNE-E-S the graveyard is bounded by a stone wall with the roadway beyond it. The graveyard contains a number of 18th, 19th & 20th century memorials. In the N part of the interior there is a scatter of stones, however there is no definite trace of a wall footing of a building or possible church visible on the surface. The surrounding field has been under tillage & there is no trace of any earthworks here’ (ASI Field Report 28/10/1980). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 30 November 2009

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.
