The National Monuments Service's description
In the E portion of Garryduff cross roads, on the E side of the road running SE. The church of the parish of Kilmacahill. According to the OS Letters (1839), ‘No part of the old Church remains, it having been pulled down to build the modern little Protestant Church’. The church (KK021-001001-) is within a sub-rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 34m NE-SW; c. 33m NW-SE) which is in the inner W sector of a large bivallate ecclesiastical enclosure (KK021-001003-) of an early medieval monastery. The C of I church has been subsequently demolished (O’Brien 1955, 17).
