In centre of graveyard (LI054-04003-) fragmentary ivy-clad remains of parish church of Dromcolliher. Only parts of N and S walls now stand; built of roughly coursed blocks of stone. Described in 1840 as rectangular in plan, though W gable had fallen by then (OSL vol. 2, 21-2). North wall stands in two sections with gap at centre caused by insertion of burial vault; NE corner fallen and unclear whether present W end of wall original, but original length c. 25m. East wall missing both ends (internal width of church 6.5m) and surviving section heavily masked with ivy; gap (Wth 0.9m) near E end may be window position. Interior completely filled with burial plots, the earliest noted dated 1766 (near NE corner). East window described in 1840 as having a single pointed light (ibid.); there were also two very-damaged windows in S wall but no doorway evident (ibid.).
