The National Monuments Service's description
The exact location of Kilcommon church (TS081-059----) or 'Cummian's Church' is unknown. According to Power (1908, 25) 'the site of the early church is within the Glengall demesne and quite close to the Swiss cottage. On the erection of the latter and the laying out of the ornamental grounds which surround it the ancient graveyard was disturbed and the bones of the dead, in many cases, removed'. There is no visible trace of the graveyard above ground.
