The National Monuments Service's description

National Monument No. 81. Present remains consist of a heavily modified church (8.2m N-S; 13.3m E-W; wall T 1.2m) which is used as a modern place of worship. The church has retained its original W doorway in Romanesque style with single order and moulded capitals. The only other original feature is a small round headed window at the E end of the S wall. All the other architectural features belong to the 19th century restoration of the church. There is a large burial enclosure to the Malone family adjoining the N wall at the E end. Window at the E end of the N wall now blocked by Malone burial vaults. (O' Donovan 1856-7, 447; Anon 1868-9, 141-7; Monahan 1886, 68; Anon 1907, 335; Westropp 1907; 297; Macalister 1910, 24; O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 66; Molloy 1950, 11; Harbison 1972, 204; Manning 1994, 29)
