According to O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 16) probably site of 'Cill Eogain'. Present remains consist of oval uncultivated area, enclosed by fence. Within graveyard (CW012-025001) is plain, bossed solid-wheeled cross and base (CW012-025002). Panel on shaft may have had interlace ornament. Cross is broken into fragments. Aerial photographs (GB89.34; GB96.FX.21 and GB20.GP.18) show cropmarks on the eastern side of the graveyard defining a large ecclesiastical enclosure. In places the enclosure is visible as two concentric fosses, with an entrance facing north-east. The fosses extend over two separate fields.
