The National Monuments Service's description
According to Carrigan (1905, vol. 3, 417) within this graveyard (KK020-025002-) known as 'the Church of the Park', there is a rectangular church, '37 ft. [c. 11.2m] long and 17½ ft. [c. 5.3m] wide, on the inside. All its walls collapsed, perhaps centuries ago and only the foundations are now traceable'.
