Ballywiheen Church/Teampall Bhaile Bhoithín: The remains of a simple rectangular church (KE042-103001-) are situated in a graveyard (KE042-103002-) near the foot of the E slopes of Croagh Marhin.
Cross-inscribed Stones (KE042-103004-/011-):
(2) A stone marking the E end of a grave, to S of the church. It is 0.62m high, 0.59m wide and 0.06m thick. Its E face is inscribed with an inverted T and the upper edge of the stone bears 3 notches. The stone was originally almost twice its present height and the stem of the T extended into the now missing fragment (Macalister 1898, 18).
