The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated graveyard within townland described by Carrigan as 'barony Church, in the southern extremity of the townland of Ballyconra, is a very substantial ruin. It stands within an ancient enclosure (LA031-010003-), three quarters of an Irish acre in area, round which ran a strong grouted wall 3 ft. 3 in. thick, but now broken down almost to the foundations. The graveyard (LA031-010002-) and church at present occupy only the south-western portion - about one-third-of the enclosed area, and are surrounded by a modern wall, the remainder of the original enclosure is now unprotected' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 310).
