The National Monuments Service's description
The site of the parish church of St Michael of Feagh (WX037-032017-) is within a raised subrectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m WNW-ESE; c. 30m NNE-SSW) defined by masonry walls. It is located towards the N end of a low NW-SE ridge. There are no visible remains of the church at ground level. Archaeological testing (94E0198) and (94E0202) on the E wall of the graveyard produced evidence of post-medieval burials (Scally 1995), but testing (04E1257) at Faythe Lane c. 60m to the S failed to produce any related material (Stafford 2008). Archaeological testing (18E0460) by Y. Whitty on the W side of Michael St. produced no archaeological finds or features (excavations.ie 2018: 778).
