The parish church of Kilteevan is situated on a gentle S-facing slope. It was impropriate to the abbey of Cloontuskert at the Suppression (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 1, 49). Rectangular structure (int. dims 11.3m E-W; 6.3m N-S), of which only the E wall with an elaborate single-light (Wth 0.4m) cusped ogee-headed window (Leask 1943, 150-1) and an aumbry, and the N wall (H 3.25m) with a blocked and probably inserted window (Wth 0.5m; H 1.3m) towards its E end survive complete. The E end of the S wall with a simple light (H 1.2m) also survives, and the W wall (max. H 1.3m) is featureless. The church is at the N end of a raised oval graveyard (RO040-032002-) (dims c. 80m N-S; c. 56m E-W) defined by a stone-clad scarp (H 0.4m at N to 1.7m at S). The head of a cross, probably a finial cross, was found in the graveyard in 1989.
