The National Monuments Service's description
Formerly situated within an irregularly shaped graveyard, on a cliff above the River Erne and probably originally beside a ford. According to Davies (1948,80) the church was unroofed in the early 17th century and a new one built on the opposite side of the road in 1821. He noted a few blocks of dressed ashlar in the old graveyard. No visible remains at ground level.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
