Situated on the floodplain of the S-N Finisk River, on the E bank with the river c. 20m to the W. This is reputedly a house of the Knights Templar (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 329), but there are no medieval sources. Attached to N of the church (WA029-024001-) is a rectangular enclosure (dims. 62m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by the remains of a stone wall (Wth c. 1m; max. H c. 3m at NE angle), with evidence of a wall-walk and slight traces of an outer fosse (Wth 3.5m; D 0.2m; L 23m) at the E end of the N wall. This enclosure was divided by a N-S masonry wall, now reduced to the foundations. The enclosure functioned as an orchard but it has a medieval origin, and buildings (WA029-024002-) within it were removed by 1898 (Power 1898a, 95) . There is a bullaun stone (WA029-024005-) but an inscribed stone (WA029-024006-) found c. 1890 is lost without record. (O'C. Redmond 1895, 154; Power 1898a, 94-5) Gwynn, A. and Hadcock, R. N.
