Towards the top of the gentle W-facing slope of a drumlin overlooking Ardakillin Lough c. 350m to NW. This is the parish church of Killukin, the identity of which in the ecclesiastical taxation of Pope Nicholas IV in 1306 is not clear (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 223). It is a rectangular structure (ext. dims 18.1m E-W; 8.6m N-S) defined by the W wall (H 3.2m; T 0.9m) with good quoins at the SW angle but no other features, and the basal courses of the other walls (H 0.5-0.8m). It is within a D-shaped grass-covered enclosure (RO028-108002-) (dims 50m N-S; 49m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-1m) with the straight side at N. There is no evidence of burial, and the perimeter at E is overlain by a N-S field wall. A rectangular limestone block (RO028-108003-) (dims 0.32m x 0.25m; L 0.44m) with a carved face at one end (Siggins 1990, 45) is now in Strokestown Heritage Centre (RO029-012----).
