The National Monuments Service's description
Davies (1948, 98) speculated that 'a piece of glebe called Corranea' probably marks the site of a church. A Mass-rock — a naturally occurring knoll of rock outcrop, lies within the graveyard. There is no trace of an early church visible at ground level and no tradition of same (local information).
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.
