The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on flat land N of the town, in the present town park. An artificial lake lies immediately to the W. A much altered church (TN029-062001-) which had a cross-wall added, possibly in 1762 when the C of I repaired a portion of the church, shortening the building as it became the new E wall. The church remained in use until 1790 (Walsh 1991, 46).
There is a seventeenth-century tombstone in the NE corner of the church (TN029-062001-) lying recumbent on an altar table. It is a tapering slab, decorated with an eight-arm floriated cross which rests on a stepped calvary mount with a skull and cross-bones. The border inscription in Latin is a mixture of Gothic and English capitals: ....JACET RD: PATER D: EDMUNDUS DULLANY RECTOR BEATA MARIA DE TAMPLEMORE ET PRIOR COMMENDATORIUS INSULAE....FIERI FECIT AI 1632: CUIUS AIA PROPITIE.... which translates as: [Here] lies Rev Father D Edmund Dullany, Rector of St Mary's of Templemore, and Prior in Commendam of the Island...who had (me) made in the year 1632: on whose soul may [the Lord] have mercy (Hayes 1993, 186-8).
