  Description

  On N shore of Lough Nakilla. Small poorly preserved medieval church (E-W; L 10.3m, Wth 4.5m) dedicated to St Flannan of Killaloe. The only surviving features are a plain doorway in N wall and the Morris family tomb in interior. The oldest part of graveyard (GA035-048002-), oval in plan, surrounds the church. To S of church is a leacht (GA035-048004-) consisting of a drystone wall (L 2.5m, H 0.5m) with a niche, set into the natural slope. A natural boulder, known as St Flannan's Bed (GA048-063----), lies c. 100m E of the graveyard and there is a holy well (GA035-048003-) to SW. A broken architectural fragment (H c. 0.25m), consisting of a robed figure carved in relief but missing its head, was found during renovations of Errislaannan Manor (pers. comm. T. Robinson; the house lies c. 170m to the ENE. It is possible that the fragment came from the church. (O'Flanagan 1927a, Vol. 3, 97-8, 101; Killanin 1954, 95;Hardiman 1846, 111-12).

• GA035-048002 Graveyard
  Description

  In pastureland on the N shore of Lough Nakilla. This roughly oval-shaped graveyard (c. 45m E-W; c. 20-30m N-S), now disused, is bounded along its E half by a drystone wall. The original entrance is at SSW. On inspection, the interior was heavily overgrown. Where visible, burials were marked by simple headstones aligned E-W. A medieval church (GA035-048001-) occupies the NW quadrant. A possible leacht (GA035-048004-) is also associated and a holy well (GA035-048003-) lies c. 15m to the SW. A modern rectangular graveyard adjoins the site to the W. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 17 April 2023

• GA035-048003 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  On shore of Lough Nakilla c. 30m SW of a church (GA035-048001-). This well, correctly Tobar Fhlannáin, consists of a natural spring delimited by an oval earth and stone enclosure (2.8m by 2.25m) with an entrance at N. Some modern offerings are visible.

• GA035-048004 Leacht
  Description

  In the S sector of the graveyard (GA035-048002-) associated with Kilflannann Church (GA035-048001-), close to the original entrance. This consists of a short stretch of drystone walling (L 2m; H 0.5m) with a wall niche (L 0.7m; D 0.3-0.4m) on the E face of its N end. A number of coins and prayer cards were visible in the niche, and some white quartz stones had been placed on top of the wall. On inspection the site was very overgrown but further traces of walling were visible extending eastwards off the N end (L 2m) and S end of the wall, suggesting that this could be the remains of a leacht that was rectangular in plan.
