The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a ruin on the 1837 and 1915 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described in gothic lettering as a church on both. It is situated on a gentle NW-facing slope within the grounds of Mount Talbot House and c. 130m from a NE-SW section of the river Suck. It may have been a Chapel-of-Ease to the parish church of Tisrara (RO044-043001-). The church is a rectangular grass-covered area (ext. dims 15.5m NW-SE; 11.7m NE-SW) defined by a wide grass-covered stone spread (Wth 2.5-4.2m; H 0.3-0.7m) with no diagnostic features visible. There is no evidence of an enclosure or of burial.
