Roughly centrally placed within a graveyard (CW013-020002-). Referred to as 'Ballyrownery' (nave dims. 8.16m x 5.9m; chancel dims. 6.6m x 5.3m) (JKAS 1933, 302). Present remains consist of S, W and portions of N and E walls of rectangular church chiefly rebuilt prior to 1839 by Eustace family as mortuary chapel. Entrance (modern in W gable. Possible window splay visible in E wall. Very little of N wall now standing. Corbel and possible piscina in E wall (JRSAI 1933, 303). Only portion of church which is substantially ancient is E gable, with traces of window, rectangular recess and possible corbel, all of which indicate considerably lower floor than present level.
