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. There is a bullaun stone (dims. 0.76m x 0.33m; H 0.2m) with a single basin (diam. 0.18m; D 8cm) embed in the ground at the centre of the rectangular walled enclosure (WA029-024004-) to the N of the church (WA029-024001-). (Power 1898a, 94-5)
