Date Added 08/02/1993 Supplementary Information Updated 13/02/2019 Type Ecclesiastical: church Local Authority Highland Planning Authority Highland Parish Morvern NGR NM 56490 53823 Coordinates 156490, 753823 — The monument consists of the remains of St Fintan's church, one of the two medieval churches of Morvern. The name Killintag (Cill Leuntaig- the church of Fintan), misappropriated to the chapel at Killundine, is likely to apply to this site. The church dedicated to St Fintan is marked on an estate plan of 1770, but probably fell out of use after 1780 when a new building was erected to the S at Ferinish. The church, situated in an old burial ground and virtually reduced to its foundations measures 23.2m E-W by 7.5m overall with walls 1m thick. A portion of the S wall extending some 6m from the E end remains to a height of 0.9m. Several plain grave-markers of considerable age lie within the church foundations. The area to be scheduled is rectangular, extending 2m from the exterior walls of the church, measuring a maximum of 27.2m WNW-ESE by 11.5m NNE-SSW, as shown in red on the accompanying map.
