O'Connell (1927, 124-9) recorded that this is the site of 'Disert Fincheallor Teallachgarneach' parish church which is mentioned in 14th-century documents. The site comprises a large graveyard, oval in plan, (present int. dims. c. 86m NW-SE; c. 60m ENE-WSW) defined by a low earthen bank from SW-N-ENE. From ENE-S-SW the site is defined by a stone wall where a roadway skirts the site. The burials are concentrated at the centre of the enclosed area and here there is also a low tree-covered earthen mound which may represent the last vestiges of the chapel. (1948, 97) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995).
