The National Monuments Service's description
No structural remains in graveyard but central portion is much higher than the surrounding area which might indicate presence of church (OF019-001003-) foundations.
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.
