The National Monuments Service's description
In a modern farmyard. On the site identified by the Athy Cemeteries Committee (athycemeteriescommittee@hotmail.com) as being that of Russellstown church (KD035-100----) and graveyard (KD035-100001-). A font (KD035-100003-) also survives at the site. Two matching limestone arch stones with chamfered edges (each: L 1.4m; Wth 0.21m; T 0.16m) presumably came from the levelled church.
