What is recorded here

Site of Kiltankin Church is a church in Kiltankin, County Tipperary, Ireland. The church stood in pasture on a gradual south-facing slope. No trace remains above ground, but an 1840 six-inch map names the church and shows a small, roughly oval graveyard. A slight circular rise about 18 metres across near the field's northwest corner may mark the church site; a concrete cattle trough now stands on it.
On a gradual S-facing slope in undulating terrain, under pasture. There is no visible trace of the church above ground. The church is named on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as 'site of Kiltankin Church', with a small, roughly oval dashed area indicating the known extent of the graveyard (TS086-015001-). A slight, roughly circular rise (diam. c. 18m) near the NW corner of the field may be the location of the church, currently surmounted by a concrete cattle trough.
