The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a SE-faciing slope of a slight W-E spur in the foothills of the Blackstairs Mountains. It is described as the site of a church on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is depicted as a small structure (L c. 10m NW-SE) within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 35m NE-SW; c. 25m NW-SE). There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or burials at ground level.
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.
