The National Monuments Service's description
In rough upland pasture, on the edge of high land, with valleys to the S and W. Low, grass-covered foundations of church (L c. 21m; W c. 8m) aligned E-W, with slightly raised area in the interior. Now bisected by modern field fence. Human bones found at this location in modern times. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 190) this is a Patrician foundation. There is a holy well (KK002-001003-) 80m to the SW with modern capping.
