The National Monuments Service's description
O'Leary (1906-08, 199), quotes Comerford who wrote, 'On the island of Lullymore is the site of an old parochial church, of which the foundations are plainly discernable .. .', and Rynne, in 1965, noted that, 'traces of a mortared stone structure aligned E-W … may well be the remains of an early church' (SMR file). Located in a graveyard (KD012-006005-) which forms part of the early ecclesiastical site at Lullymore (KD012-006----). The monument was no longer visible at ground level in 1987, when it was noted that an extensive 'clean-up' of the graveyard had taken place (SMR file).
