The National Monuments Service's description
On the S edge of a narrow E-W valley, on the Naas to Glendalough pilgrimage route, with an old laneway (KD024-032----) just to the N possibly forming part of that route. Toberkevin, a holy well (KD-24-021----), lies c. 150m to the ESE. An almost square, overgrown area (c. 50m N-S; c. 50m E-W) is enclosed by a stone wall. Contains a ruined church (KD024-020----) in which three cross slabs (KD024-020002-, KD024-020003- and KD024-020004-) and fragment of a font (KD024-020005-) were recorded in 1985 (Healy SMR file). Legible gravemarkers date from 19th and 20th century.
