The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the W bank of the Ollatrim River with a nearby tower house (TN022-035) to the SE. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). A long rectangular church (TN022-034001) built with roughly coursed rubble of which the E and S walls survive intact with only the E end of the N wall surviving; the wall-footings of the W wall survive. The E wall has a partially destroyed twin-light ogee-headed window and there is a destroyed single-light window at the E end of the S wall. A pointed doorway occupies the E end of the N wall while the main two-centred doorway which was at the W end of the S wall (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 196) was removed and is reused as a doorway for the nearby eighteenth/nineteenth-century MacEgan tomb.
