The National Monuments Service's description
On the River Suck with Kilkeevan church (RO026-040001-) on higher ground c. 60m to the NW. A ford is marked on an unreferrenced and undated Longfield map in NLI. Neither the ford nor the church are marked on a late 18th centuyr map (Kelly, M. J. 2000). A concrete bridge (Wth 3m) now spans the river with connecting laneways. Archaeological testing on both sides of the river in 2003 failed to produce any archaeological material (Fitzpatrick 2006b).
