The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated church within townland that is described by Carrigan as 'The church stood in Mr. Michael Guilfoil's "church acre", within an irregular area, an acre in extent, enclosed by a rampart and fosse still traceable. The exact site of the church and graveyard cannot be determined, as the enclosure is covered over with little mounds and remains of foundations, and no graves or head-stones are now to be seen' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 346).
