Graveyard

The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on the floodplain of the S-N Finisk River, on the E bank with the river c. 20m to the W. This is reputedly a house of the Knights Templar (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 329), but there are no medieval sources. The church is thought to be a small rectangular structure (WA029-024001-) of which only the E gable with a slit window and the footings of the other walls survive. There is no evidence of a graveyard, and none probably existed. (O'C. Redmond 1895, 154; Power 1898a, 94-5)
