Description and History - It was constructed in the late 15th century but incorporated elements of an earlier structure as is evidenced by the fine Romanesque doorway. The doorway may have come from the same original structure as the arch and window of the rebuilt Protestant church but is likely to be slightly earlier in date than the arch and window. In 1696 the church was in disrepair and its shingle roof was moved to Lynally.
Difficulty – Easy to spot in the field. Mind the cows.
