Description
Freestanding remains of Church of Ireland church, built c. 1750, comprising square-plan three-stage stepped tower. Random rubble sandstone walls, having roughly dressed sandstone quoins and cut stringcourses to second and third stages. Blind quatrefoil to second stage, west elevation. Pointed arch window openings with sandstone sills to second and third stages, some now blocked up. Pointed arch door openings to north elevation, having roughly dressed voussoirs. Pair of roughly dressed sandstone piers to west with wrought-iron double-leaf gates and random rubble boundary walls.
Appraisal
This solidly constructed tower is all that remains of the Church of Ireland church. Its red sandstone dressings and quatrefoil motif are interesting examples of eighteenth-century stonework. The tower forms part of a group of related structures including the mausoleum and grave markers.
