What is recorded here
On a rise in undulating land to S of Ross Lake. A very ruinous church (WNW-ESE; L > 11.46m, Wth >6.45m), probably medieval in date. No architectural features survive. Faint traces of a curving scarp to SE, S and W of church may indicate existence of an early ecclesiastical enclosure. (Killanin 1947, 123, 127)
