St Finaghta (medieval)
Church (ruin)
A ruined ivy-covered church, 19.2m x 6.7m (Westropp), now used as graveyard. The W part of the N wall is built of large limestone blocks, irregularly coursed but carefully fitted, providing evidence of an earlier structure. There are yellow sandstone quoins at the E angles, a blocked doorway and sedilia at the E end of the N wall, and a late medieval S door with plain jambs and a chamfered arch. The W wall has collapsed. 13thc. features include a double E window, with aumbry and niche to S. All 13thc. material is of coarse red sandstone with quartz inclusions, the remaining fabric is limestone.
