Five dressed stone pieces have been carefully incorporated into the exterior walls of this Victorian structure, creating a subtle timeline of the area’s ecclesiastical history. The most intriguing elements are two hood-mould stops set into the north wall of the vestry, their broken, tapering ends still displaying delicate vine-leaf carvings. These decorative pieces were likely salvaged from the nearby Franciscan friary, giving them a heritage that predates their current home by several centuries.

The church’s east wall holds particularly interesting treasures. Below the eastern window sits a small sandstone panel, measuring just 25 centimetres square, decorated with an intricate pattern of four diagonal stalks that criss-cross symmetrically across the surface. Stylised leaf terminals fill the spaces between these stalks, all carved in false relief; a technique that creates the illusion of depth whilst the actual carving remains relatively shallow. This fragment, along with another piece from Kilconnell or Glebe, demonstrates the sophisticated stone carving traditions that flourished in medieval Donegal.

Perhaps the most curious architectural fragments are the piscina-like carved stones positioned above the windows in both the porch and vestry. The porch features an eight-fluted example with a central hole, whilst the vestry displays a simpler four-fluted version, both set just below the eaves. These bowl-like stones, typically used in medieval churches for washing sacred vessels, hint at the rich liturgical traditions of the region’s earlier religious buildings. Their careful placement in the Victorian church suggests a deliberate effort by the 19th-century builders to preserve and honour these pieces of Donegal’s architectural heritage.
