Recorded monuments

• OF027-010001 Enclosure
  Description

  Enclosure (diam. c. 38m) formerly defined by a bank (ITA Survey 1942) and showing on aerial photo (CUCAP, BDU 15) but no longer visible since area is covered with modern grave plots. Marked as graveyard (OF027-010002-) on first ed. OS 6-inch map and depicted as a circular enclosure. Comerford (1883, 135) casts doubt on the antiquity of this graveyard and there appears never to have been a church (OF027-010003-) here. This enclosure is no longer visible and the graveyard is now enclosed by a modern wall. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011

• OF027-010002 Graveyard
  Description

  Enclosure (OF027-010001-) formerly defined by a bank (ITA Survey 1942) and showing on aerial photo (CUCAP, BDU 15) but no longer visible since area is covered with modern grave plots. Marked as graveyard on first ed. OS 6-inch map and depicted as a circular enclosure. Comerford (1883, 135) casts doubt on the antiquity of this graveyard and there appears never to have been a church (OF027-010003-) here. According to a local farmer who described the site as being a Rath for burying unbaptised children. The site was located in a field behind Bracknagh Church (OF027-011----). No surface evidence of this site remains probably due to land improvement in the area. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).

• OF027-010003 Church
  Description

  No surface trace visible of any church or architectural fragment which Davies (1942) recorded as a door jamb. Graveyard (OF027-010002-) was formerly enclosed by an earthen bank which appears on aerial photographs as an enclosure (OF027-010001-). This enclosure is no longer visible and the graveyard is now enclosed by a modern wall. According to Comerford (1883, 135) there was no church ever located at this site. Marked graveyard on first edition of the ordnance survey 6-inch map but no church is shown. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
