The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the floodplain of the NW-SE River Bride, with the S bank c. 200m t the NE, and a small SW-NE stream is c. 160m to the SE. It is marked only on the 1927 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and is thought to be the correct site of Cill Fhionntain - Fintan's church - rather than a location in Fountains (WA029-038001-), c. 350m to the S (Power 1906a, 163). It is not visible at ground level.
Power, Rev. P. (1906a) The place-names of the Decies, WAJ 9, 12-39, 80-106, 154-70, 228-65.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
