The National Monuments Service's description
Located within a graveyard (GA009D014002-) associated with the early monastic foundation established by St Colman (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 386), at the SE end of Inisbofin Island. A curving scarp line visible to the N of the church (GA009D014004-), which occupies the S half of the graveyard, may mark the line of an ecclesiastical enclosure.
