The National Monuments Service's description
A small rectangular building (int. dims. c. 9m E-W; c. 6m N-S) locally known as 'Teampaill Ceallaigh' and associated with St Killian. Situated on a raised mound within an early 19th-century graveyard. Remaining features of building include outline of a much-ruined window in E wall, a blocked-up doorway at the centre of S wall and a chimney and narrow fireplace built into W wall. Davies (1948, 115) was of the opinion that this is not an ecclesiastical building and if it is, it must be post-Reformation. Original location of Mullagh ogham stone (CV040-047----). (CUCAP BGQ 72)
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.
