The National Monuments Service's description

On the crest of the hill, W of centre within a graveyard (TS077-078003-) and possible ecclesiastical enclosure (TS077-078002-). It is mentioned in the Papal Chancery documents in 1260 as 'Kiltagan' and in the Papal Taxation records c. 1306 as 'Kiltaga' (Ó Cearbhaill 2007, 242). The church is aligned E-W (dims. c. 8.4m N-S; c. 16.8m E-W), the walls have collapsed and are grass covered. According to the OS Letters only one portion of a wall was standing (L 11' [3.35m]; T 2'10” [0.85]; H 12' [3.65m]), but the extent of the building could be traced by the foundations (L 62' [18.9m] and Wth 20'10” [6.34m]) (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 50). The Civil Survey (1654-6) mentions that 'Seaven accres of the sd gleabland [in the parish of Donoghmore and Kiltegan] being situated on the West of the Church of Kiltegane are bounded on all sides with the lands of Toburhany in this Parish' (Simington 1931, vol. 1, 297). The church is not indicated on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map but shown on the 2nd (1904) ed. OS 6-inch map designated 'Church (in ruins)'.
