The National Monuments Service's description
Enniskeen Church apparently lay within the now disused large rectangular graveyard. It was abandoned in the 17th century. No visible remains of church at ground level. Davies (1948, 95-6) recorded some 15th-century architectural fragments built into the graveyard wall which are now in the National Museum. He also recorded a socketed dressed stone, probably the girdle of a memorial cross, inscribed on all four faces, cemented to a large boulder and located within a small enclosure W of the graveyard.
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.
