The National Monuments Service's description
According to ITA Survey (1945), founded by St Abban in the early sixth century. Subsequently attached to St Thomas' Abbey, Dublin. It is depicted by a dashed line on the 1839 'OS 6-inch' map, rectangular in shape with the church (CW018-017001-) in the NW angle. O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 119) refers to 'a small and little-frequented graveyard attached to the old site'. By the latest 6-inch ed. the graveyard is roughly D-shaped (map dims. 26m E-W along straight N side, c. 24m N-S) and the church is no longer visible, being depicted by a cross. No visible traces of either church or graveyard. Single eighteenth-century headstone lies on site.
