It is the rectangular foundation walls of a small oratory about 60 meters from Errew Abbey . The temple is a "national monument" and is located on the site of a disappeared monastery that St. Tighernan (or St. Tiernan) is said to have founded by the Iroschott Church in the 6th century. The floor plan shows that the building received the portal on the south side after the renovation . Originally it was on the west side.
