The National Monuments Service's description
On fairly level ground on a gentle NE-facing slope in undulating terrain, under tillage. Church described by Power (1908, 31) as '“Mary's Church.” The name seems to be new, as a designation of the townland ... there was considerable difficulty in identifying the church site. It is in a small field adjoining the main Cahir-Clonmel road, on south side of the latter and on the farm of a man named Dahill. The foundations of the church were unearthed during farming operations, a few years since'. This church is not visible at ground level. It is indicated as 'Kilmurry Church (Site of)' on the 2nd (1901-05) ed. 6-inch OS map but this is possibly based on Power's rather tenuous reference.
