The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in undulating tillage and pastureland. A roughly rectangular-shaped graveyard with no visible remains of a medieval church (TN021-020001), except a possible portion of the W gable (L c. 3.3m; H c. 2m; wall T 0.8m), heavily ivy-clad, in the SW corner. South of the old graveyard and at a lower level, lie the ruins of a Protestant church, built c. 1800, probably incorporating the fabric of the earlier church. The oldest visible gravestone dates to 1780. According to the OS Letters the church was situated in the centre of the graveyard and the N end of the W gable was all that survived, incorporated in the E wall of a small school house (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 3, 96-7). There are now no visible remains of the old school house which was marked on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map.
