At its heart lies an 18th century Church of Ireland building, but it’s the earlier elements that make this place truly remarkable. The church’s western entrance features a recycled 15th century doorway with a pointed Gothic arch, its jambs decorated with stop chamfers and hood mouldings adorned with vine leaf and grape bunch carvings. Against the church wall rests a small carved lintel stone, likely salvaged from an even earlier church, bearing a wheeled cross design alongside several human figures and intricate interlacing patterns.

The graveyard surrounding the church holds several exceptional early Christian monuments. The famous ‘Marigold Stone’, a decorated cross slab, stands in the southeastern corner, whilst just outside the graveyard’s northeast boundary, a remarkable trio of carved stones commands attention from the roadside. This group consists of a high cross flanked by two stelae, or stone sculptures, which were relocated from their original position about 20 metres away on the opposite side of the road. These monuments showcase the sophisticated stone carving traditions that flourished in early medieval Donegal, combining Christian symbolism with Celtic artistic motifs.

About 200 metres southeast of the churchyard lies an intriguing site marked on old Ordnance Survey maps as ‘Labby Patrick’. Though its exact nature remains uncertain, it may have been a prehistoric megalithic tomb that became incorporated into Christian tradition. The 17th century scholar John Colgan described it as ‘the Penitential bed of St. Patrick surrounded by polished stones’, and local tradition still holds that a patch of bare soil here possesses healing properties. The entire complex sits on the eastern slope of Crocknakilladerry Hill, overlooking the Glentogher River, a location that has clearly held spiritual significance for countless generations.
