The National Monuments Service's description
All that survives of Kiltuck church are the overgrown foundations of a rectangular building defined on three sides by rough large boulders (L 9.2m, Wth 5m, E-W, H 0.065m). This foundation is mentioned in the Bull 1179, which defined the extent of the dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough (Ball 1905, 93-94). There are no graveslabs visible. There were formerly two small crosses at the church. One of these crosses was moved to the laneway at Shankill (DU026-051001-). The other cross-head was moved to the church grounds of St. Annes, Shanganagh .
