The National Monuments Service's description
The parish church of Ogulla on an early foundation is listed as Oclolf in the ecclesiastical taxation of Elphin in 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 223). It is situated on a rise overlooking Ogulla well (RO022-106003-) c. 50m to the W. This is a rectangular graveyard (RO022-106002-) (dims c. 50m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) defined by masonry walls containing a cross-base (dims of base 0.73m x 0.56m; dims of top 0.5m x 0.43m; H 0.24m) with a large socket (dims 0.33m x 0.26m; D 0.15m) and three architectural fragments with chamfered edges (RO022-106004-), but there is no other evidence of the church.
