The National Monuments Service's description

Situated towards the bottom of a N-facing slope in the valley of a SE-NW stream that joins the N-S River Lask c. 750m to the NW, and close to its source. This is the parish church of Kilnahue within an oval graveyard (dims. 50m E-W; 44m N-S) defined by stone-revetted earthen bank. The overgrown remains of a stone building oriented E-W (dims. 20m E-W; 6.5m N-S) but with no architectural features are at the centre of the graveyard. There is a cross-base lying loose just N of the church. This is an irregularly-shaped, flat-topped stone (dims. 0.8m x 0.4m; H 0.4m) with a rectangular mortice (dims. 0.26m; x 0.1m; D 0.1m). Souterrain (WX006-061004-) is outside the graveyard, c. 25m N of the church, and enclosure (WX006-060----) is c. 100m to the W.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
