The National Monuments Service's description
Described as the site of a church, which is not depicted, on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map and described as the site of a church on the 1924 ed. The graveyard is depicted faintly as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) on the 1924 ed. It is situated at the crest of the E-facing slope of a low ridge. There are no visible remains of a structure, enclosure or of burial at ground level in pasture. The holy well (WX022-014----), a natural spring of which nothing is known, is c. 100m to the E.
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.
