The National Monuments Service's description
O'Rorke (1890, 431) noted that the church at Killaspugbrone (SL013-002001-) was built within a cashel known as Caissel Irra. The OS Letters (1836, 140) quoted the Revd. Mr. Connolly stating that a cashel could be seen enclosing the church. This may be now covered by sand dunes.
