Description

A small, ruined, two-cell (nave and chancel) church, located on the W shore of Ballymore Lough. The chancel has a narrow, deeply splayed, round-headed E window with an arcuated lintel. There are square recesses in N and S walls of the chancel. Large dressed stones survive on the SE and NE angles, and the lower courses of a W and a S doorway remain. Within the church are a number of fragments, most of which are set in concrete. Two of these bear sculpture

History

No reference in Gwynne and Hadcock.

Features

Loose Sculpture

Comments/Opinions

The interlaced stems and fluted leaves of fragment (ii) bear a general resemblance to the fourth order S capital of the chancel arch at Inishmaine and the exterior second order capital of the slype doorway at Cong Abbey
