The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S side of a public road on level ground in gently undulating terrain. Poorly preserved church (WI042-003001-) roughly centrally placed within a graveyard (WI042-003002-) which is defined by a roughly semicircular enclosure (dims. c. 20m N-S; c. 50m E-W) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 2.2m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6-1 m) surrounds the site but is not visible above ground to the N of the road.
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.
