A monastery at Lemanaghan (Liath Manchán) was founded in the 7th century by Manchán whose feastday falls on the 24th of January. In centre of the graveyard (OF015-004004-) are the ruins of a multi-period church (ext. dims. 19.4m E-W x 7.5m N-S). Conservation works were carried out on the church between 2002-06 by Margaret Quinlan Architects. The first stone church was built around the 10th/11th century as a small single cell structure (dims. c. 9m by 7.5m). In the 12th century the church was extended to the west & a Romanesque doorway was constructed. The W gable has a partially destroyed triple ordered Romanesque doorway consisting of three rounded columns of limestone with scalloped capitals and simple decorated round bases with leaf shaped spurs. To the NW there is a rectangular building (OF015-004009-). This poorly preserved rectangular shaped building (6.8m N-S; 8.4m E-W) is known locally as the ‘House of Manchan’. It may have served as a shrine chapel which housed the relic,St. Manchan’s Shrine
