What is recorded here

Marked as a ruined building (dims. c. 12m NW-SE; c. 7m NE-SW) and described as 'site of Church' on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It had been pointed out as a church to John O’Donovan by local people c. 1840, but it was not visible then (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 359). Situated on a N-facing slope with the valley of a NW-SE stream and mill race just to the E. There is a slightly dished D-shaped and grass-covered area (diam. c. 30m), but there are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burial at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 12 September, 2012

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.
