Kilruane Church — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Freestanding Board of First Fruits Church of Ireland church, built 1820, with three-bay side elevations to nave and three-stage tower with pinnacles and crenellations to west. Snecked limestone walls with ashlar limestone corner buttresses, string courses to tower and carved eaves course to nave. Openings with hood-mouldings and chamfered ashlar reveals. Lancet windows with one remaining leaded light in tower and pointed-arch entrance. Remains of ruinous medieval church in graveyard to site. Limestone rubble piers with cut-stone caps and cast-iron spear-headed gates. Limestone rubble boundary walls.

This Board of First Fruits church, despite its ruinous state retains well-executed fabric, and was clearly executed by skilled stone masons. The hood-mouldings are well carved, as are the generous window reveals which are splayed to allow for maximum illumination. The site also includes the remains of an earlier church which adds further interest. This earlier church, graveyard and entrance gates form a notable group of related religious structures.
