W. wall has been built up. Above this door are two arched windows about 30' from door. The other entrances in side-walls have been 'faced' by Canon McCrystall. There is a long window in East end wall. In South ([4'-6" in width on inside and 2' from floor. Outside stones removed) wall are three narrow arched windows about 2'-9" high. Along dotted line AB are the remains of a wall, as if Eastern portion were separated from main body of church. Mr. Peter Murphy says that in planting ivy around the walls he dug up a slate about 1" thick and about 1' square. The graveyard surrounding the ruins was old 100 years ago because Stubbs says:- The people still bury in the yard around it (the monastery). The headstones date from 1769.
