Recorded monuments

• MA026-003001 Church
  Description

  Located in the W half of a graveyard (MA026-003002-), in lowlying ground on the N bank of the Owenmore River, close to a bend in the river. There are expanses of bog to N and S. This ruined rectangular medieval parish church (13.95m NE-SW; 6.1m NW-SE; Wall T 0.9m) is constructed of mortared stone rubble. It is oriented NE−SW, but for simplicity, is described here as if conforming to the standard E−W orientation. The E gable is intact, and the N and S walls are upstanding, but damaged at their W end; the W gable has collapsed. The E gable has a single-light, round-headed window with a round-headed rear arch. At the E end of the S wall there is a plain, flat-headed single-light window, and at the W end of the S wall there is a round-headed doorway, with slightly pointed segmental arch; most of the dressed stone surround of the doorway is missing, but two portions of chamfered jambs are 'in situ'. There is a considerable build up in ground level within the church and in the immediate vicinity. A bullaun stone (MA026-003003-) lies against the external face of the E gable, at its S end.

• MA026-003002 Graveyard
  Description

  Located in lowlying ground on the N bank of the Owenmore River, close to a bend in the river. There are expanses of bog to N and S. This graveyard is depicted on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a square area (c. 25m E−W; c. 25m N−S), with the church (MA026-003001-) abutting the W boundary, located c. 50m E of the river bank. By the time of the 1921 edition the graveyard had been expanded to its current roughly trapezoidal extent (c. 60m NNE−SSW; c. 45m WNW−ESE at E end, c. 70m at W end), with the W boundary coinciding with the riverbank. The graveyard is enclosed by a mortared stone wall, with a wrought-iron gate at the NE corner. In the interior ground level rises markedly from the perimeter towards the centre. Several early 20th-century headstones of Celtic type area visible, but many the majority of gravemarkers are engulfed in dense vegetation. There graveyard encloses a medieval parish church (MA026-003001-) and a bullaun stone (MA026-003004-).

  Description

  Located in a graveyard (MA026-003002-), at the SE corner of a church (MA026-003001-). The bullaun stone consists of a roughly triangular-shaped slab, 1.9m in length, and 0.2m in thickness.
