Keeill Phooigyn

Archaeology

The possible site of an early medieval keeill or chapel located on a small holding at Ballagarrow, in the field numbered as Plot 3113 on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey. It is known locally as Keeill Phooigyn (Pooighyn, Pooghagh or Poogeragh).  Graves have apparently been found here in ploughing, but apart from the name there is now no memory of the keeill. It is possible that the stones of the keeill are contained in the walls of the nearby cottage.
