Situated SE of St Kevin's church in the NE corner of an enclosure (dims. 35m x 35m) defined by a drystone rubble wall. Foundations of a small nave (dims. c. 5.8m E-W; 4.5m N-S) and chancel (c. 2.9m E-W; 2.7m N-S) church. Features which are still evident include a W door, a narrow chancel opening, a door in the S wall of chancel, which may have led to a sacristy, and the foundations of a stone altar. The church is possibly dedicated to St Kieran, founder of Clonmacnoise, and there is a possible reference to its burning in the Annals under the year 1163. (Price 1945, 48; Leask 1950, 25-6; Barrow 1992, 39-40) SMR No.: WI023-010----
