The National Monuments Service's description

On flat elevated pasture overlooking Multeen River to the N and E in upland river valley. No visible surface remains of church (TS051-017001-) which according to current landowner was bulldozed in the 1960s. Only two small upright stones survive indicating possible remains of graveyard which was also bulldozed at the time. There are the elevated earthen mounds which indicate an enclosed graveyard, but there are no signs of burials' (White 1892, 60). Seymour (1916, 145-6) described the monument as consisting of a 'graveyard marked out by low mounds. The church stood in the extreme north-west angle of this'. The OS Letters describe how the 'old church of this parish has long since disappeared and its graveyard is now deserted. Its site is marked by some white thorn trees and some old graves but no headstones or monuments of any kind.' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 102).
