What is recorded here
A short right-angled stretch of masonry in the graveyard (DG004-005003-) adjacent to the modern church seems to be all that survives of a pre-17th century church (DG004-005001-) here. A small stone cross (DG004-005002-) stands to the N of these remains. It is situated in a natural enclosure of the sandhills to the N of the channel to Trawbreaga Bay. Just outside the door of the modern church is a painted stone font (DG004-007-), hexagonal in shape, c. 0.5m across with a hollow .3m in diameter and 0.2m deep. It is believed to have originally come from Fahan (DG038-013001-).
