The National Monuments Service's description
Medieval parish church dedicated to St. Lonán whose feast day fell on the 12th of November (Ó Riain 2011, 403). The medieval parish church and graveyard may have been built on the site of an early Christian monastery founded by St. Lonán. Only the ivy-covered SW gable of the medieval parish church of Killulagh (WM013-057----) stands in the SW quadrant of an oval-shaped graveyard (WM013-057001-) which is entered through a gateway and stone stile at SW. The octagonal shaft of the medieval font (WM013-057003-) and bullaun stone are located just inside the graveyard gateway and stile on the N side. Roughly circular-shaped stone (0.3m x 0.26m x 0.14m) with oval-shaped hollow (diam. at top 0.15m; D 0.08m) in centre.
