Ruined rectangular building (long axis N-S) shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map immediately outside N wall of graveyard, towards E end; smaller rectangular structure to W. Hurley and O'Flaherty (1981, 55) conclude from surviving descriptions that former was 'a house which probably belonged to the Longs, the hereditary ecclesiastical family who occupied the site for much of the medieval period'; no visible surface trace of either structure. Stone (CO071-108005-) inscribed with 7th-century Maltese cross found in field immediately to NW in 1970s.
