History and description

According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 374), ‘The Parish Church of Ennisnag, at one time prebendal, became a ruin soon after the Reformation, and was taken down about 1820, to supply materials for the present Protestant Church, which stands at its west end. Its patron was St. Mogue, whose feast day was celebrated on the 14th Feb.’.
