The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground overlooking the valley of the Glenealo River to the S and the Lower Lake to the SW. 'Our Lady's' or 'St Mary's' church WI023-003001-), which has been partly restored, is located within a square enclosure on raised level ground W of the main graveyard. It may have been built for use by women or nuns. There are two decorated cross-slabs in the chancel and a number of rude crosses and cross-slabs in the graveyard (Leask 1950, Fig. 4 a-f, 42).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
