Church

The National Monuments Service's description

In low-lying pastureland. This medieval church (12.5m E-W; 5m N-S) is poorly preserved. The W gable and most of N and S side-walls survive. Apart from the corners, there is no visible surface trace of the E gable. The main architectural features include a pointed-arch doorway at the W end of S side-wall, to the E of which another blocked-up doorway is evident. There are two robbed-out windows and traces of a possible third one in this wall as well as one robbed-out window in the N side-wall. The interior is heavily overgrown and a 20th-century cross has been erected in its centre. (O’Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 470-71; McCaffrey 1952, 255, no. 3)
