The National Monuments Service's description

Located on a fairly level landscape. The church at Cullenstown could be an estate chapel, or private chapel, of Cullenstown tower house (WX046-046001-) which is c. 200m to the WNW. The church (WX046-047001-) is within a rectangular grass-covered enclosure (ext. dims 35.5m N-S; 19m E-W; int. dims 33.8m N-S; 14.8m E-W) defined by a low bank or the remains of a wall (Wth 2.5m; H 0.4m). One headstone commemorating Hugh Monro Robertston dated 1819, probably from a shipwreck, is visible.
