In gently undulating lowland. Parish church of Fenagh. A rectangular structure (int. dims. 13.7m E-W; 6.02m N-S) built of randomly coursed limestone masonry walls (T 0.7m), with dressed quoins, which survives complete (H c. 4m) except for the top of the W gable. There is a single round-headed doorway (Wth 1.55m; H 2.2m) towards the W end of the S wall, with a tall window, now blocked, towards the E end of that wall. A light in the W gable and holes for corbels at the W end of the N and S walls indicate a gallery. There is a twin-light, cusped, ogee-headed window and an aumbry in the E wall. The church is situated within a grass-covered oval enclosure (dims. 75m E-W; 52m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 3.5m; H 1.1m) with an entrance (Wth 3.5m) at SSE, but there is no evidence of burial. Mound (LE024-025---) is c. 100m to ESE and St Patrick's Well (LE024-023---) is c. 260m to SW.

Mound in ChurchfieldMound · 7 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mound in Churchfield is where a matchmaker once worked her magic before the stones vanished entirely. It's just a corner of Coolkill church now with zero actual mound left behind. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Churchfield is hosting a dance that got way too wild. The bank’s still shaking from the footsteps, and nobody knows who crashed it first. Bring your worst joke; this place has heard far worse.

Explorer Tom Fionn McCumhail Cottage in Keshcarrigan is still wearing its straw hat from the eighties. Imagine explaining low ceilings to a teen who only knows skyscrapers and vibes. It would just shrug at the lack of Wi-Fi. Pack a picnic for the riverbank!

Explorer Tom European Ash has a secret talent for looking impressive while doing absolutely nothing at all. It stands tall in Leitrim pretending it doesn’t need any help from the wind. Have a wander and a wonder.
