The National Monuments Service's description
On a tree-covered island in Lough Cutra. This simple rectangular church (int. dims. 8.35m E-W; 4.5m N-S; wall T 0.8m) is built of semi-Cyclopean masonry. No architectural features are visible. A gap (Wth 0.8m) towards the W end of the S side-wall probably marks the site of the doorway.
