The National Monuments Service's description

In a rath (KE058-061003-) and children's burial ground (KE058-061001-). This church is not visible at ground level. In the 1940s it was noted that 'ruins of a little church can still be seen in Timothy McCarthy's field' in Killeen (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry). However, it was noted that there was 'no trace of the ancient church buildings' during a visit to the area in 1941 (Minutes of the Co. Kerry Field Club, vol. 1, 184).
