An early ecclesiastical site identified as Senchell Dumaige where St Patrick founded a church at the mound of Uí Oilealla for Ródán, who had come into Ireland with him (Ó Riain 2011, 537) and probably the site of the parish church of Shankill, listed as Schevrill in the ecclesiastical taxation of Elphin diocese in 1306 (Cal. doc. Ire., vol. 5, 223). Situated towards the S edge of a plateau. John O'Donovan c. 1837 records that a fragment of a church survived here (O'Flanagan 1931, vol. 2, 28). Nothing survives of a church now within a wedge-shaped graveyard (RO016-123002-) (dims 63m E-W; 33m N-S at E to 51m N-S at W) defined by masonry walls and containing 18th-20th century headstones and one burial vault. A bullaun stone (dims 0.59m x 0.5m; H 0.3m) with a single basin (diam. 0.2m; D 0.22m) that is broken at one edge is recorded by M. B. Timoney from the graveyard.

Nothing survives of it now within a wedge-shaped graveyard (dims 63m E-W; 33m N-S at E to 51m N-S at W) defined by masonry walls and containing 18th-20th century headstones and one burial vault.
