The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the N and E edge of a plateau with rock outcrop. A small roofless chapel or mausoleum (ext. dims 5.05m E-W; 3.45m N-S) of the O’Duignans of Castlefore (LE024-053----) abuts the W end of the S wall of the large church (LE025-096001-) at Fenagh, but the doorway in its W wall is destroyed. There is a single light in the E wall, and the O'Duignan commemorative plaque (LE025-096007-) with a Latin inscription dated 1671 is on the exterior of its S wall.
