The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a natural rise of ground in an upland area with good views in all directions and nearby castle site (TN020-084001) to the S. According to the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 118) the wall-footings of the church (dims. 6m N-S; 15m E-W; wall T 1m) survived with no E wall visible. A disused burial ground (TN020-082002) was attached to the church which was used as a haggard by the local farmer, with human bones visible on the surface of the ground. Not visible at ground level.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
