The National Monuments Service's description
A 'churchyard' (KK003-035002-) in Cooloultha, described by Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 279) as 'uprooted in the year 1847, previous to which it consisted of a circular enclosure, like a rath, with no trace of graves or headstones. The church (KK003-035001-), which was of very early times, had disappeared centuries before, leaving, however, down to the present day a distinct tradition of its existence'. The precise location of this enclosure within the townland of Cooloultha or Moneynamuck is unknown.
