The National Monuments Service's description
On the E side and just below the crest of a N-S ridge between two valleys, in rolling grassland. There are excellent views in all directions. According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 466), this church is 'known to the local Irish speakers as Killavoogue'. Only the footings (Wth c. 1m; H 0.2-0.4m) of the rectangular church (dims. c. 14m E-W; c. 7m N-S) survive. It is enclosed within a roughly circular graveyard (KK014-021002-).
