The National Monuments Service's description
In a graveyard (KE068-003001-). Indicated as a rectangular 'Church in ruins' (c. 15m E-W; c. 8m N-S) on the 1846 OS 6-inch map. There are no visible remains of this church. It is unclear if overgrown mounds at the E and W side of the graveyard are the remnants of the church. In the 1940s it was noted that the 'cemetery wall [was] built with stones from the old chapel about 1810. Two heaps of stones still remain.' (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry)
