The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the N end of a SE-NW spur with the S-N Killary Water stream in its valley c. 60m to the SW. The site of an early church and the parish church of Killary (ME012-020----) is within a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 67m ENE-WSW; c. 45m NNW-SSE) defined by earthen banks. According to Dopping’s and the Royal Visitations (1682-5; 1697) the church was in ruins since 1641, although it was fenced (Ellison 1973, 6).
