- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)the Church fell into the hands of the McKeoghs and it became known as Ballymackeogh or McKeogh's townland.
With the coming of the Penal Laws, this Church was closed against the Catholic population and allowed to fall into dissrepair. Meantime a "Mass House" was used which stood in the shrubbery of Mr. Ryan's demesne at Ballymackeogh opposite the entrance lodge, and only a few hundred yards from the old Church. This was a long mud building with three main couples or rafters and had three glass windows. It was dedicated to the Purification of B V M and was one of the Churches served by the Priests of the district, all during the 18th century, down to the building of the Church at Newport in 1795, when it was abandoned.
A reliable old man whose family have for a long time lived quite close to where it stood, says that he often heard the old people speak of internments that took place there, but all who were buried there were later re-interred in Ballymckeogh Churchyard. (This may have been during the famine years, when grave yards were congested).
