The National Monuments Service's description

Ballynamona church ruins (LI032-095001-) and graveyard described by O'Kelly (1943, 178) as following; 'The walls of this church remain to a height of about 7' [2.1m] but are completely shrouded in ivy. No architectural features remain which would indicate the date of erection. It is probable that the original parish church stood on this site. It is surrounded by a graveyard [LI032-095003-] still in use'.
