Teach Dorcha or the dark house is at the S edge of Kilbarry graveyard (RO024-016008-). It is a rectangular structure (int. dims 6.35m E-W; 4.6m N-S) whose walls (Wth 0.7m; max. H 1.7), apart from the S wall which does not survive, are probably rebuilt. It is a plain structure apart from the trabeate W doorway (Wth 0.55m; H 1.3m) which has a cross-slab (RO024-016011-) (H 1.2m; Wth 0.8m) inscribed with a Latin cross set upright outside it. A second cross-slab (RO024-016012-) (dims 1.8m x 0.35-0.5m) with a similar incised cross lies just N of the church on a path, and the graveslab (RO024-016007-) is also just N of the church.
