The National Monuments Service's description
Dedicated to St. Fintan who resided here before moving to Clonenagh. (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 337-338). Comerford (1886, vol. 3, 337) described a church (LA017-014) 40 ft. in length with a small east window, and a round headed doorway in the west gable and a Gothic-shaped aperture, seemingly a passage into the tower higher up. An old stone causeway is said to have formerly extended between Cromogue and Clonenagh, portions of which may still be traced. Unlocated stone causeway or roadway within townland described as above by Comerford in the nineteenth century.
