The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1841 and 1908 editions of the OS 6-inch map. No visible surface remains.
Described by Carrigan as 'There was a monastery or friary here in former times. Some fragments of the old church (LA034-001001-) remain. Its entire length was about 70 ft. In the remaining piece of the south side-wall, there are traces, near the east end, of a doorway (which led from the sacristy) and of a credence. There are but two inscribed monuments in the graveyard both dating from the 19th century. Outside the graveyard wall are considerable remains of foundations &c., showing that several buildings (LA034-001003-) formerly stood here.' (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 342).
No enclosing element of graveyard visible on current edition of the OS 6-inch map.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
