Tickell (JKAS 1960, 408) mentions reference to church or chapel in 'Moyacan' now Clonegall, in Royal Grant of 1627 to Sir Maurice Eustace. Down Survey records church (CW018-016001-) as 'ruined' in 1650. Present remains consist of central raised mound (H c. 3m) enclosed by fosse with external bank visible from W-N-NE, elsewhere modified by extension of graveyard. Nineteenth-century church now stands on mound. Cross base of socketed squared granite boulder. Quern stone found in graveyard in 1902 (JAPMD 1905, 192) and placed in present church. Earthwork is probably ringfort in origin although also resembles modified motte. Graveyard is depicted on the latest OS 6-inch map as a sub-rectangular enclosure (map dims. c. 56m N-S; c. 58m E-W).
