St. Finghín’s Church(CL042-02703)on the bank opposite to the Friary on the River Rine is several centuries older than its sister building. It is in a reasonable state of preservation, though the north wall has long since been lost. Both the interior of the church and the area around the church are now filled with graves (CL042-02704).Its main features are the remains of a moulded window in the south wall and a thirteen-foot-wide opening in the east gable.  A square tower sixty feet in height was built in the 17th century at the corner of the west gable, with a low door opening into the church. Careful scrutiny will show the presence of two heads beneath the tower string.
