The National Monuments Service's description
In centre of graveyard, poorly preserved ruins of a small rectangular church (OF011-005001-) with pointed two centred door at W end of S wall. Date of 1460 AD carved on soffit of door may be a later insertion. The jambs of the door are decorated with a punch dressed margin. Interior of church used as part of graveyard making examination difficult due to the presence of several headstones. Headstones in graveyard date to the 18th and 19th-centuries.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
