Research papers on religious sites such as churches, graveyards, oratories or ecclesiastical remains in west Co. Offaly within the baronies of Ballyboy, Ballybritt, Ballycowan, Clonisk, Eglish, Garrycastle and Kilcoursey.
For each site there is one file of varying contents. The monument type, townland, parish and barony are mentioned as well as the R. M. P. (Record of Monuments and Places) registration number, the County Inventory Registration, the national grid and the ordnance datum.
There are individual field sheets which may contain details to the level of preservation, the nature of surviving structures, walls, earthworks, wooden structures, boundaries and neighbouring waterways or woodlands. If existent aerial photographs and cartographic evidence are outlined. Often there is a sketch of the site with interior and exterior elevations as well as site or floor plans. In addition the files include typewritten reports and photographs.
