The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle SE-facing slope overlooking Lough Gara and within a graveyard (SL046-014002-) and an ecclesiastical enclosure (SL046-014003-). The only apparent mention of a church here comes from 1836 when it was described as 'the ruins of an old Church...' (OSL, 235). It is not indicated on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, nor is any church ruin mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 383-4).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
