On the gently rising E side of the Nore river valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. A medieval church (KK010-060001-) is aligned E-W just N of centre in the sub-square graveyard (dims. c. 31m NE-SW; c. 31m NW-SE) with relatively straight sides, though the N angle has a pronounced curve. The graveyard is defined by a stone wall and is entered via a gate at the N end of the SW wall, with a stile immediately to the N. The interior is overgrown with long hummocky grass. There are two yew trees growing within the interior. Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 195-6) noted, within the chancel, a 13th/14th century graveslab (KK010-060004-) and a dispersed wall monument (KK010-060003-).

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KK010-060002

Explorer Tom Presbytery in Shanganny is stuck in a feud over who owns the view from the hillside. The local stone makes it look like it’s made of compressed gossip. Make a wish before you walk away for good.

Explorer Tom Saint Colman's Catholic Church is having a quiet rivalry with its neighbour over who looks more mysterious. It built itself like a barn to confuse the architects. Pretend it's yours and tip your hat respectfully.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilmacar would tell a job interviewer it has 'excellent views' and 'great team dynamics.' It sits on a slope watching the river go by, feeling very important. Go now, before it gets famous.
