What is recorded here

Laurencetown, or Rossard Church, stood dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary in County Limerick during the 1290s. No wall or stone remains visible today, though an 1840 map still marks the faint trace where the building once anchored the village. The church vanished completely, leaving behind only a name and a coordinate. What is lost is not forgettable; it is simply no longer visible.
No surface remains visible of Rossard Church. Westropp (1904-5, 425) recorded the following details about Laurencetown or Rossard Church which was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary; 'Nova villa Laurentiston et Effyng, 1296 (Plea R.). 1655 (C. S., p. 21). Site - The trace of a church remains, and is marked on 1840 map'. Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien Date of upload: 26 June 2019
