The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a low-lying landscape with an E-W stream c. 160m to the S. The Romanesque parish church of Kilmakilloge is within a D-shaped graveyard (dims. c. 70m N-S; c. 60m E-W) defined by an earthen bank. Portion of the N wall (L 11.5m) and the W wall (L 2.6m) survive to a H of c. 3m with evidence of antae. The remainder of the building is indicated by banks and scarps (L 25m; Wth c. 7m). Twelve cut stones in the graveyard are from a Romanesque doorway which was in the W gable, and the church originally had a separate nave and chancel according to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1933, vol. 1, 10).
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.
