Place & story
The church at Ballyduff
The Millennium Forests archaeological report locates Kilcomb’s ruined church in Ballyduff townland, within Kilcomb parish. It describes two chambers: a longer western nave and a smaller eastern room, separated by a dividing wall. The surrounding graveyard is triangular and enclosed by a stone wall. These are the report’s recorded observations. [2]
