Oratory (ruin)
A small oratory, 23'7" x 15'7" (7.18 m x 4.75 m) (Westropp); ruined and ivy-covered, but with walls and gables standing to full height. The W doorway is damaged but enough of the bases and inside L jamb survive to indicate an arched opening. There are no carved or moulded stones on the jambs or arch apart from some ashlar springers on the interior R. Of rubble masonry apart from the ashlar E window.
Cathedral, former
Situated c. 24 m E of the round tower, the cathedral has a simple rectangular plan measuring c. 20.80 m x 8.40 m, incorporating the side walls and W end and part of the E wall of an earlier church (Westropp, 1897). The antae and trabeated W doorway with inclined jambs survive from this early church; the upper walls and E gable were rebuilt in the later medieval period. There are later medieval doors in the N and S walls near the W end of the nave, and three Gothic windows in the S wall. A later sacristy (8.10 m x 3.00 m) is attached to the N wall.
