What is recorded here
On a level patch of ground on S-facing slopes of Killagoola Hill. Teampall Éinne is a much-ruined E. Chr. oratory (E-W; L 6m, Wth 4.1m) with a trabeate doorway in W wall and foundations of a later chancel visible at E end (L 5.25m, Wth 3.8m). Traces of a possibly modern rectangular building lie immediately to NW. A low curving scarp traceable only to NE of oratory may be part of an early ecclesiastical enclosure. A holy well (GA081-011003-) and a bullaun lie to NW, and a CBG (GA081-011004-) immediately to SW. (Killanin 1947, 122; Killanin and Duignan 1967, 381; Kinahan 1868a, 79)
