And then back along both sides of this minor road toward Slane, reaching within a mile and a half of the town. There is a ruined, probably early Parish church, with adjacent graveyard in the townland. As the church ruins are of the undivided nave and chancel type, the church is probably quite "old" - relatively speaking. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
