Church

The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on level ground in forestry. All that remains of the church is a subrectangular area of rubble (dims. 23m E-W; 14m N-S) with a gap representing an entrance at the S. An open area in the centre (dims. c. 10m E-W; 5.4m N-S) may represent the church interior. Situated S of the centre of an oval enclosure (dims. c. 70m NW-SE; 60m NE-SW) defined by a rubble bank (Wth 4m; H 1-1.5m) of large slabs and blocks with drystone facing on the N side. The original entrance (Wth 2.5m) is at the SE and modern access is through an extension also at the SE. A field drain (Wth 2m) runs outside the bank at the SW. The graveyard has some eighteenth-century headstones and is still in occasional use. A subrectangular font (WI034-008003-) with a slot opening on one side (Price 1959, 175) has been removed from the graveyard.

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.
