The National Monuments Service's description
In the graveyard (KK018-06605-) associated with the medieval church of Kilmanagh (KK018-066001-). The medieval church was replaced by a C of I church in the late 18th century (Carrigan 1905, vol. 3, 431). According to the OS Letters (1839), ‘The old Church of Kilnamanagh is said to have been torn down about thirty years ago [c. 1809], to supply materials for building the parsonage house of the Parish (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 239). A block of limestone (KK018-066002-) incorporated in the N wall of the graveyard is decorated with punch tooling, typical of the late medieval period.
