The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Church (in ruins)' on OS 1836 and 1876 eds. O'Connell (1937, 157-9) claimed that the disused cemetery in Cootehill marks the site of a 14th-century church. He recorded that 'the walls have long since been demolished' but that 'near the entrance gate some traces of the old church may be detected'. Davies (1948, 83) found nothing surviving of the church. Not visible at ground level.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
