Situated on a slight N-facing slope, at the headwaters of a small SW-NE stream that runs NE to the NW-SE River Bride, c. 500m distant. According to John O'Donovan writing c. 1840 (O'Flanagan 1929, 72) the present C of I church within a small D-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 60m NW-SE; c. 50m NE-SW) was built on the site of the church of Kilfentony (WA029-038001-), of which there is no other record. The enclosure is defined by a stone-clad earthen bank, except SE-SW where a scarp down to the interior separates it from a rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 55m N-S; c. 30m E-W) defined by a stone-clad earthen bank, but there is no evidence of burial close to the church. O'Flanagan, M. (Compiler) (1929) Letters containing information relative to the antiquities of the county of Waterford collected during the progress of the Ordnance Survey in 1841. Typescript. Bray.
