The end walls are 4 feet thick, and a partition wall, with a recess probably for an altar, crosses the church 17 feet from the east end. There was a small window in the apex of each gable, now nearly destroyed, below which is a row of corbels and two ambreys in each case.

is pointed and of the fifteenth century, the north and west walls are
nearly down. The church measures externally 21 feet by 42 feet,
and once extended farther westward; the walls are 2 feet thick.
The church stands in a large rath. A small broken cross with plain
