Killemlagh Church was built in the late 12th century. The style is
Romanesque. Until the mid-17th century, the church was in good condition, but it has since lost its roof. A new chapel was attached to the original church, which by then was ruined, in the 19th century. The new parish church is now also roofless. According to O'Hanlon, writing in 1875, The antiquary P.J. Lynch described the church in 1909. Although the style was generally typical of a church of the 12th century, the shallower pitch of the roof led him to think it might be of later construction. The stone of the walls are not large, and the green stone of the district was used for the door and window dressings. The heads of the windows are semi-circular. The east window is wide at its sill, narrowing to at its head. The original doorway was in the west end, but this had been filled in. In 1909, the doorway was in the south side, and the dressings had either been removed or the opening was relatively recent and never had dressings. The walls were about high above the ground level and thick. ==Notes==
