The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope, with streams to the N and W. Local tradition associates the church (KK022-002----), 'Teampull-na-Rath', with an enclosure or graveyard which is no longer visible at ground level. The OS Letters (1839) describe the church as standing, ‘in the middle of a kitchen garden, having several fruit trees growing against it’ (O’Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 244-5 (81-2)).
