The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in pastureland, the church (TN014-051001) is at the N end of a roughly rectangular graveyard (int. dims. 60m N-S ; 53m E-W) defined by a limestone wall containing 18th and 19th century memorials. It is listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302) and the Royal Visitation of 1615 described the church as 'ruined with no chancell' (Murphy 1914, 219).
