The National Monuments Service's description
Site of Enniskeen Church (CV035-042001-), Co. Cavan apparently lay within a disused large rectangular graveyard (CV035-042002-). 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 of Ireland. He also recorded a socketed dressed stone, probably the girdle of a memorial cross (CV035-042004-), inscribed on all four faces, cemented to a large boulder and located within a small enclosure W of the graveyard. Cross-reference with CV035-042003-.
