What is recorded here
On a rise in pastureland; it stands within a roughly rectangular graveyard. According to Gwynn and Hadcock (1970, 393), this was an 'early mon[astery]; erenagh eleventh century'. What is visible is a poorly preserved rectangular church (E-W; L 19, Wth 5m). Apart from W gable which contains the base of a window, only the grassed-over foundation lines of N, E and S walls survive. Within the interior lie two cut-stone fragments, including an arch stone and part of a window jamb. 'Labbapatrick' (GA029-111003-) lies c. 6m to NE. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 203; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 448)
