This modest stretch of stonework appears to be the sole surviving remnant of a church that stood here before the 17th century, its weathered stones bearing silent witness to centuries of worship on this spot.

Just outside the door of today’s church sits a rather remarkable painted stone font, hexagonal in shape and measuring about half a metre across. The basin itself forms a hollow roughly 30 centimetres in diameter and 20 centimetres deep; perfect dimensions for the baptismal rites that would have taken place here over the generations. According to local tradition, this font wasn’t originally made for this church at all, but was brought here from Fahan, adding another layer to the site’s interconnected religious history.

These fragments of ecclesiastical architecture, though modest in scale, serve as important physical links to Ireland’s long Christian heritage. The survival of even these small elements allows us to trace the continuity of worship in this location, from the medieval period through to the present day, whilst the relocated font hints at the complex relationships between different religious communities in County Donegal’s past.
