The National Monuments Service's description

According to Power (1907, 283-310) 'some remains of the ancient church stand in the graveyard beside the small, square, and well-preserved castle ruin of Lisronagh'. The graveyard is rectangular in plan and is situated immediately N of Lisronagh tower house (TS077-010001-). The C of I church, which replaced the medieval church (TS077-010002-) was built c. 1831 (Curtis 1935-7, 58) and now lies in ruins. A late medieval graveslab (TS077-010005-) is located at the E gable of this church.
