100 | The remains of this ancient church consist of the eastern gable, & portions of the side walls all in a very dilapidated Condition - It stands a few feet south of the present Parish Church Shortly before the reformation, there was another church built in Kilespikeril, now called Kirk Town, which is now the Parochial Church. In the place where it stands there was of old (and still as yet used) a burial place, and hard by it a standing cross, with a Crucifix now removed. The stone is yet extant, without any inscription, except the image of Christ extended, and it lies in a grave instead of a tomb. It seems there was a cell or chapel here formerly, before the building of the church, denominated by or dedicated to Bishop Cyrillus, or rather the old Scottish saint Coriolanus, whence it retains the name of Kilespikeril.
