Place & story
A dated record of the churchyard
In 1943 Fr Stephen Blowick described the ruined church of Addergoole within its cemetery, between Milltown and Dunmore. He also recorded a plain stone cross in an adjoining field, without an inscription. His notes acknowledged that the church could not be dated accurately. They preserve a local record of the monuments without establishing their foundation dates or identifying a patron saint. [2]
