What is recorded here

Mausoleum, erected c.1890, set within walls of ruined late medieval church, itself within Early Christian ecclesiastical enclosure. Gable-fronted entrance vestibule to south-east, with adjoining lower hipped-roofed chamber to north-west. Cut limestone roof to chamber, slate roof with limestone coping to entrance vestibule. Rubble limestone walls, coursed tooled limestone wall with plinth course to front elevation, with carved limestone crest. Pointed arch recessed panel to south-west side of vestibule. Pointed arch opening to front elevation, having chamfered cut limestone surround and cut limestone steps. Square-headed door opening with double-leaf cast-iron doors. Tiled floor to vestibule.
Mausoleum erected to house the remains for John Charles Robert Bingham (4th Baron Clanmorris) who died in 1876. His wife and brother were also buried here and all were removed in 1945 for reburial in Ardrahan. The cut-stone façade and detailing are well executed and provide a contrast to the rubble stone walling of the medieval church in ruins.
