What is recorded here
On a flat raised platform in gently undulating terrain, the ground sloping to the W beyond the graveyard wall. A road runs N-S along the E side of the graveyard and the Lingaun river is c. 170m to the W. Power (1908, 200-201) suggests that this is the church of 'Athnacarbad', which translates as the 'Ford of the Chariots', and is mentioned in the Visitations of Elizabeth I and the Taxation of Pope Nicholas. The church is located in the NW quadrant of a roughly rectangular graveyard (TS072-002002-). Only the foundations of one wall (L 5.9m; max. Wth 0.95m), running E-W, survive. Four limestone architectural fragments are re-used as headstones, including a mullion with chamfered edges, two mullions with hollow chamfers and an external rebate, and a chamfered sill/lintel. A bullaun stone (TS072-002003-) has been fixed onto a stone pier in the E wall of the graveyard.
