Chapel’ on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, where it is shown as a rectangular building (20-24m ENE−WSW; 7-10m NNW−SSE), located at the N end of the graveyard adjacent to a road.

According to the 1838 OS Letters this chapel was said to have stood on an earlier church, which gave the Killbeagh parish its name (O’Flanagan 1927, 375 (154).

• MA063-050003 Ritual site - holy/saint's stone
  Description

  Located on a wall at a farmhouse, c. 40m SW of a church (MA063-050001-) and graveyard (MA063-050002-). A trapezoidal-shaped piece of sandstone (L 0.28m; Wth 0.26m at one end, 0.18m at other) with two small shallow indentations on one broad surface, which according to local tradition represent the knee prints of St Attracta. A holy well (MA063-043001-) dedicated to St Attracta is located 200m to SW. According to tradition, the stone must be kept in the vicinity of the graveyard; to move it brings bad luck, and the stone will always return to its home.
