The Department's description
Exterior description and setting
This building was surveyed in the First Survey but not listed. Only a Partial Survey was taken during the Second Survey as it is not of sufficient interest to warrant a full Second Survey
Small outbuilding converted into a church, said to be the smallest in Ireland. Pitched artificial slate roof with boxed eaves and bargeboards, painted and partly-rendered walls. Exposed stone pilaster on E gable with bell and Latin inscription (trans; "I see only the hours of the rising sun").
