According to ITA Survey (1945), founded by St Abban in early sixth century. Subsequently attached to St Thomas' Abbey, Dublin. The 1839 'OS 6-inch' map shows remains of structure described by O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 119) as 'foundations... measuring thirty nine feet in length and twenty feet in breath. There is a small and little-frequented graveyard attached to the old site'. Leask (1941, OPW file) recorded traces of church of granite, with one piece of chamfered door jamb lying loose. No visible traces of either church or graveyard (CW018-017002-). Single eighteenth-century headstone lies on site.
