The National Monuments Service's description
In grassland, 370m NE of Dunnaman Castle (LI030-012----). Nave and chancel church ruins (LI021-081001-) in S quadrant of graveyard (LI021-081002-), which according to local tradition was dedicated to the Holy Trinity and was therefore called 'Teampull na Trionoid' (Dunraven 1865, 203). In 1865 the font was located inside the nave and chancel church ruins and was described as following; ‘The old quadrangular font remains: externally it is 2ft. [0.6m] square; internally, its depth is 8in. [0.2m]’ (ibid., 204). Unable to locate font inside ruins of ivy-covered church ruins.
