Site of chapel which was formed into a circular enclosure in the early nineteenth century (CLAJ 1918, 273) in order to preserve its remains. It consists of a small flat-topped mound with stone revetment. A cross slab and mortar found with human bones in Funshog townland in the nineteenth century may have originally come from the church. The slab has a plain, almost equal-armed cross on one side only (JRSAI 1973, 197-9). They are now in the National Museum, Dublin. (CLAJ 1944, 280)
