Architectural fragment in Raymoghy

Raymoghy Old Church (DG054-032): The surviving remains indicate that the medieval parish church was significantly altered when converted for protestant worship c. 1622 (Royal Commission, 215). It continued in use until 1792 when a new church was built at Manorcunningham (Lewis 1837, 510). Three medieval window fragments (DG054-032002-) are built into the inner quoins of the graveyard (DG054-032001-) gate piers; these are undoubtedly from the parish church. The above description was derived from the 'Archaeological Survey of County Donegal. A description of the field antiquities of the County from the Mesolithic Period to the 17th century.'
