I'm not 100% sure that I found this church. I was actually here to hunt for a nearby bullaun stone, but it certainly wasn't were it should have been. This means that it's either gone now or the enclosure I found wasn't the remains of the old church.
Within the enclosure there are two groups of four small stones forming squares. I thought at first these were possibly old grave markers, but after noticing the pattern I think they may have had a more agricultural purpose.
I was certainly with a couple of hundred metres and I was able to see that the view to the northeast from this area is seriously impressive. There are hills across the north aspect, but to the northeast The Great Sugarloaf Mountian is supreme. Was the bullaun stone placed so that it aligned with the mid-summer sunrise?
