Church (in ruins)

Located in a graveyard (DU019-015002-) situated at the NE boundary of Clontarf Castle Demesne. It may be on an earlier church site associated with St. Comgall. This is a plain rectangular building of undivided nave and chancel type (int. dims. L 21m, Wth 5.8m) with a tall single bellcote over the W gable and a residential tower attached. There was a N aisle originally entered through two arched openings in the N wall of the chancel (now blocked). Sometime after 1609 a N wing was attached. The nave is entered through a round-headed doorway on the S side. The interior is lit by tall plain round-headed, brick-faced windows. The residential tower in the W gable is entered through a semi-circular headed S doorway with chamfered sandstone jambs. The upper storey is offset and lit by a lunate window (Dillon Cosgrave 1977, 120-121).
