The National Monuments Service's description
According to Power (1908, 9-10) the field is known as the 'Field of the Early Church Site' and was sacred to St. Bearachan. He goes on to say that the church was situated by the W side of a little stream and associated with it were some quern stones (TS078-061003-), a stone cross (TS078-061002-) and a stone object resembling a chalice (ibid.). The latter object was located in Waterford Museum (ibid.). There is no visible trace of a church at ground level in the vicinity of the stone cross. The church remains unlocated within this area.
