In pasture, on the lower S-facing slopes of Barrerneen. The ruins of Temple Feaghna (church of St. Fiachna)(KE102-038001-) stands in the N quadrant of a subrectangular-shaped burial ground (KE102-038001-) defined by an earthen bank which may have originally been constructed as the ecclesiastical enclosure (KE102-038----) of a monastery associated with St. Fiachna. A bullaun stone (KE102-038003-) lies c. 20m to the S and Toberfeaghna holy well (KE102-038004-) lies c. 50m to the E. A second bullaun stone (KE102-038005-), now in the roadside fence lies c. 50m to the N, and is said locally to have been formerly in the graveyard.
Toberfeaghna consists of a triangular-shaped well formed by two low stone slabs set against the base of the E face of an irregular-shaped upright boulder. Spring water from the well flows downslope to the SE. Pilgrims have inscribed a single cross (shaft L 0.2m; arms L 0.12m) on a stone slab (0.35m x 0.25m) which rests on top of the boulder. The well is overgrown with gorse bushes and small holly trees.
