What is recorded here

Just off the summit of a hill which overlooks the Suir river valley on a S-facing slope and surrounded by pasture land. The church (TS084-005----) is located on the N side of an irregularly shaped graveyard (max. dims. 35m N-S; 53m E-W). The graveyard is in a poor state of repair, except on the N side which was rebuilt in 1986. A plaque on this wall commemorates the reconstruction of the church by the local community in 1986. In the graveyard there are three vaults built at the W end in area of the interior.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS084-005001
