The National Monuments Service's description
Located on a slight E-facing slope and on the E side of a N-S road. The parish church of Kinnagh is within a subrectangular graveyard (max. dims c. 48m NE-SW; c. 46m NW-SE) defined by a stone-faced earthen bank and hedge. Only the overgrown foundation courses and rubble from the walls remains (ext. dims. 19.5m E-W; 8.1m N-S) of a nave (int. dims 12.5m E-W; 5.2m N-S) and chancel (int. dims 4.8m E-W; 4.3m N-S). The E wall survives to a height of 4m but the window is robbed. The W wall also survives (H 1.1m) but no features are visible. St Martin's Well (WX045-006----), which is still visited, is c. 550m to the ESE.
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.
