Details Remains of church, formerly the parish church of Glengairn, now reduced to four walls. Thought to be on the site of an earlier, medieval, Roman Catholic chapel. It is probably 17th century in present form and is situated in a still used graveyard. It now comprises fragmentary remains of an aisleless rectangular building, rubble-built. A square-headed door and two windows survive on the south wall, and a skewputt at the southeast angle. A simple much-worn stone font placed in the southwest angle was moved from the west end where it was embedded in the ground. The churchyard contains three Commonwealth War Graves.
