The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a low ridge, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Located within centre of Corbally graveyard (WM020-054001-). Not depicted on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map or the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map. Possible church site described in 1983 as a roughly rectangular shaped area defined by the collapsed remains of the W, N and S walls. A stony mound (approx. L 7m; Wth 1.5-2m) appears to be the remains of the W wall. Traces of the N and S walls (min. L 7-8m) are also present. Any surviving portions of the E wall are obscured by dense scrub. Occasional rough stones and small boulders mark burials in the vicinity. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography due to tree cover within the graveyard.
