The National Monuments Service's description

Described as the site of Kildenis church on the 1839 and 1940 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and located on the NW-facing slope of a slight NE-SW spur of Ballydonigan Hill, the summit of which is c. 1.5 km to the ENE. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 40m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) with some trees defined by a scarp SW–NE, with portion of a bank at NE. A vegetation change (Wth at SW: 5.5m) at the base of the scarp may indicate a silted fosse but the site is truncated by a NE-SW road at SE. There is no visible evidence of a church at ground level and there is no evidence of burial. A bullaun stone (dims 0.83m x 0.45m; H 0.5m) within a single basin (dims 0.32m x 0.26m; D 0.2m) is at the centre of the enclosure.

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.
