The National Monuments Service's description
According to Power (1908, 64) within Carrigavisteal there is a 'Cúil Carraige-"Rock Corner"; a sub-division including a rock platform (to east of road) on which appears to be a cill or early church site. At any rate unbaptised children were buried here within living memory'. It remains unlocated within the townland.
