Towards the bottom of the E-facing slope of Rathcroghan ridge, and listed as a Patrician site (Nicholls 1973b). Rectangular structure reduced to the base courses (ext. dims 13.15m E-W; 6.5m N-S; max. H c. 0.5m) with grass-covered cairn material, but no features are visible apart from a fragment of the head of a round-headed window (RO022-056042-) which might be interpreted as a damaged bullaun stone (RO022-056044-) (dims 0.77m x 0.3m; H 0.25m) with a single basin (diam. 0.4m). The church is at the N side of a subrectangular enclosure (RO022-056043-) (dims 70m E-W; 40m N-S) defined by an earthen bank, best preserved at W (Wth 2m; H 0.3m) with internal and external facing stones, or a slight scarp. There is no evidence of burial, but there is local knowledge of burials being uncovered here. Rath (RO022-056057-) is c. 60m to the NNE and Tobercroghoor well (RO022-056039-) is c. 290m to the NNE. (Herity 1987a, 140)
