Description

This is an aisle or wing of the former Old Parish Church of the Kennedies of Bargany, surviving following the demolition of the rest of the church around the beginning of the 19th century. The interior contains an exceptional example of a "glorious tomb," a fashionable type of memorial erected during the 17th century. The site is designated as a Scheduled Monument. Further information can be found in C and D Architectural Publications, Volume 3, pages 304-5.
