On level ground to SW of Corrúch. This medieval church (E-W; L 7.9m, Wth 3.7m), in fair condition, is a Nat. Mon., known locally as Teampall an Ceathrair Álainn. There is a pointed-arch doorway and plain window in N wall and a single-light ogee-headed window in E gable with an altar below. Remains of an internal partition wall survive at W end, bonded into N side-wall. Three possible ecclesiastical buildings (GA110-086004-) lie to E and W, and a holy well (GA110-086003-) to SE. There is a grave plot (GA110-086002-) at E gable (L 3.1m, Wth 2.8m) which contains five plain flagstones. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 371-9; Leask 1955, 177-8; Westropp 1895, 261)
