What is recorded here
Cloonamahan House still stands beside the buried church of Kil-na-Mochain, though neither graveyard nor worship room remains visible. O'Rorke placed them together in 1878, giving the forgotten slope a name and a purpose. The land may have swallowed both, but the house still marks the edge of what was lost.
On an E-facing slope. There are no visible remains of the church (SL026-154001-) called 'Kil-na-Mochain', which O'Rorke (1878, 196) placed in the demesne of Cloonamahan House and which had 'annexed a graveyard'. The location of the graveyard and church is unknown.
