The National Monuments Service's description
A nineteenth-century church is located in the centre of a graveyard n Borrisokane village. While there are no visible remains of a pre-1700 church some medieval fragments were found reused in the church walls when the church was being replastered (pers. comm. Con Manning, Nov. 1994). The site is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). The graveyard (approx. dims. 54m N-S ; 54m E-W), which contains eighteenth/nineteenth-century headstones, is very circular in plan which may also be an indication of an early date.
