Ruins, Largy Thornhill or Mullandreenagh, Killinagh, Church of Ireland

A late eighteenth-century church which was destroyed during the 'Night of the Big Wind' on the 6th-7th January in 1839, an important event in Irish folk tradition. Masonry from the ruined nave was reused to build the nearby Killanagh Church of Ireland church at Termon which replaced it c.1860. The ruinous structure is a good example of an early Board of First Fruits church, with the simpler detail contrasting with the more elaborate ashlar detailing that was used in the early decades of the nineteenth century. The surviving tower and the extant cemetery walls make a strong contribution to the historic character of the scenic landscape around Lough Macnean.
