Ballylarkin Church

Map Reference: S387637 (2387, 1637)

Ballylarkin Church is small and almost square.



There is a triple sedilia in the south wall. It is very plain but the finial at the east end is carved like a small traceried window. Above the sedilia is a pierced stone projecting from the wall.



There is a similar stone in the north wall. Along the top of the north and south walls is a series of corbel-stones with carvings of window tracery. Beside the sedilia is a piscina with a quatrefoil basin.



There is an ambry beside the east window and a doorway in the north wall. A pile of rubble and some marks on the wall indicate that there was a building attached to the west end of the church. This may have been a residential tower.
