The parish church of Kildalog, listed as Kildlog in the ecclesiastical taxation of Elphin in 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 223), and situated on a level low-lying landscape. Rectangular structure (ext. dims 14.6m E-W; 7.4m N-S) defined by roughly coursed limestone rubble core walls (T 0.9m) which survives complete (H of S wall 3.1m) with good quoins, except the W end of the S wall and the N wall which are reduced to the foundations. The re-built pointed doorway (Wth 0.87m; H 1.6m) with external chamfer in the W gable has a plain rectangular window with external chamfer overhead, and the E gable has a two-light cusped ogee-headed window with square hood moulding and decorated spandrels, but the centre of the head and the mullion are missing. It is within a subcircular enclosure (RO023-177002-) (dims 30.6m E-W; 27.4m N-S) planted with trees and defined by a grass-covered wall footing (Wth 0.8m) SE-SW and a scarp (H 0.4m) elsewhere, but there is no evidence of burial. (O'Connell 2000)
