The National Monuments Service's description

National Monument No. 578. At the W edge of a graveyard (KD010-014003-) which is part of an early monastic site (KD010-014----). Named 'RC Chapel in ruins' on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map and indicated as a rectangular structure (est. dims. L c. 30m NNE-SSW; Wth c. 10m). The site is not recorded on the latest ed. (1911) of the OS 6-inch map and is not visible at ground level. It may have been an 18th/19th century church. Geophysical survey (M. Byrne Unpublished MA thesis, NUI Maynooth, 2005) revealed possible subsurface remains of this church.
