According to Grove White (1905-25, vol. 4, 184), site of 'old church' close by Roskeen House...'a few stones of the walls remain. The site is enclosed and carefully preserved.' Bowman (1934, 675) recorded 'site of church' in field called 'Pairc na Cille. No sign of this church is now to be seen.' According to local information, burial ground was immediately to W of house; bones were found there in 1960s. No visible surface trace of church or burial ground. This might be site of Roskeen parish church, which was in ruins in 1615 (Brady 1863, vol. 2, 139) but probably disappeared shortly afterwards.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
