H 2.5m) of a single cell structure (int. dims 8.35m plus E-W; 5m N-S) that has a destroyed window embrasure (Wth 1.34m) in the E wall and another (Wth 1.43m) in the N wall. A headstone in the church erected in 1787 commemorates seven members of the 18th century Dominican friary at Donore (ME041-007----) c. 2km to the ENE, who are buried here, the earliest date being 1737 (Cogan 1862-70, 1, 309).
