This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 29m NNE-SSW; 29m WNW-ESE) defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 8-9m; int. H 0.3-0.45m; ext. H 0.45-0.6m) and an outer fosse (at SSW: Wth of top 6.2m; Wth of base 2.5m; max. D 0.35), which is not visible ENE-SSE. There is no identifiable original entrance.

• RO048-041001 Church
  Description

  In a low-lying position on an undulating landscape. A beehive quernstone (RO048-041002-) and a stone basin which might be a bullaun stone (RO048-041003-) were found in 1958 where there is a local tradition of a church (NMI file). The quernstone was acquired by NMI (Lucas 1960, 36-7), but the possible bullaun stone cannot be traced. Archaeological testing (09E0496) just to the E failed to produce any related archaeological material (Byrne 2012a). Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 19 June, 2012

• RO048-041003 Bullaun stone
  Description

  In 1958 a beehive quernstone (RO048-041002-) and a rather shapeless stone basin which may be a bullaun stone were found in a field where there was a tradition of a church (RO048-041001-) (NMI file). The basin is not described, but it would appear from photographs to be a large rather shapeless boulder(ext. dim. c. 0.6m) with a straight-sided basin (dim. c. 0.3m; D c. 0.15m). It is too large to be the base of a pot-quern or the font now kept at Lisbaun (RO048-197----), and its present location is unknown. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
