National Monument No. 113. A late medieval church (dims. 16.9m E-W; 8.8m N-S; wall T 1.1m). Features include a doorway towards W end of S wall and a splayed chamfered ope with round head at E end of S wall. Some pieces of cut stone used as grave-markers. (Harbison 1970, 139-40). Reference to a church here (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 305; O'Flanagan 1933, 90) and described by Carrigan (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 347-348).
