Kildalough Church

In level pasture. The ruin of a rectangular church (int. 12m E-W; 5.3m N-S) built of roughly coursed stonework, the walls (T c. 1m) of which are much reduced in height. Internally a short section of a cross-wall (H 0.3m; Wth 0.7m) extends 0.6m from the S wall, just W of the centre. The church was better preserved when described by O'Rorke (1878, 278-81), who noted an E window 'three feet [0.91m] high, the opening to the outside seeming to have been only four inches [0.1m], but with a splay on the inside of five or six feet [1.52-1.82m]'. He also described a window in the S wall with a square-headed light 'four inches [0.1m] wide to outside, but splayed internally to three feet [0.91m]'. The church was known as Kildalough church (O'Rorke [1889], vol. 2, 336-8). There is a possible graveyard (SL020-135002-) to the E.
