The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise in gently undulating pastureland c. 100m S of the Ollatrim River with a nearby hall house (TN021-030001) to the N. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). The Royal Visitation of 1615 described the rectory of Lisbunny 'as church and chancell down' (Murphy 1914, 219). A nave and chancel (TN021-029001) church at the N end of a graveyard, with a dividing wall only partly surviving. The S wall of the nave is destroyed. A large light in the E gable and all the windows in the chancel are broken out. A concrete wall monument abuts the N wall at the E end and there is concrete rendering on the external N face of the nave. Ivy obscures much of the surviving walls.A niche for a piscina lies in the S wall of the chancel. When visited by the OS, c. 1840, the ruins of a sacristy (approx. dims. 8m x 5m) were visible extending from the N wall of the chancel (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 200).
