The National Monuments Service's description
In a graveyard (KD028-032001-). According to OMURETHI (1909-11, 99-100), the present C of I church was rebuilt in 1825, and the surrounding graveyard may contain the burial of Robert Nangle, d. 1615. This suggests there was a church here in the 17th-century, possibly on the site of an older, medieval church, no visible surface trace of which survives.
