The National Monuments Service's description
Marked faintly as a rectangular feature (dims. c. 15m E-W; c. 8m N-S) described in gothic lettering as the site of a church on the 1839 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated on a slight S-facing slope. The grass covered remains of the W wall (L 5.1m) and adjacent parts of the N and S walls and some rubble survive within a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 35m N-S; c. 35m E-W) defined by earthen banks with an external stone-facing, and hedges. There is a stoup in the graveyard.
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.
