• KK027-037 Enclosure
  Description

  Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a polygonal enclosure and on the 1948 revision as a roughly circular enclosure (overall diam. c. 43m) enclosed by a wide deep fosse. The monument has since been levelled.

• KK027-038001 Church
  Description

  On a S-facing slope, with good views to the SW and NE. Described in the OS Letters (1839), as, ‘a little Church …called by the natives Teampall Geal, i.e., White Church, but the farmer on whose farm it stood had just rooted up the last stones of the foundation when we visited the place a few days ago. It measured thirty six feet sixteen [inches?] [11.4m]. There is a small graveyard still in use at this place’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 2, 89-90 (29)). According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 323-4), the church, ‘was dedicated to St. James, the Apostle, (July 25). The east gable is standing to a height of 4ft. [1.2m], but all the other walls have been uprooted from the foundations. It was a small church’. The ruinous church (int. dims. c. 14m E-W x 7m N-S) built of roughly coursed limestone rubble (max. H 1.2m), occupies the SW corner of the graveyard (KK027-038002-). It comprises the wall-footings of the E and W gables and their returns, and the E end of the N wall, all of which are overlain with earth and collapsed masonry.
