The National Monuments Service's description
A fragment of a medieval window mullion in the graveyard (LE006-015002-) is the only indication of a church, but the head of a stone cross (Wth c. 0.75m; H c. 0.5m; T c. 0.2m) with a solid ring and a figure with outstretched arms on both faces is thought to have been moved from here to the Roman Catholic church of Dromahair (NMI file), where it cannot now be found. This cross could be as late as the 17th century.
