Ch. (in Ruins), Grave Yd.

Situated on a slight rise of ground in undulating countryside. The poorly preserved remains of an ivy-covered rectangular building (dims. 9m N-S; 18m E-W; wall T 0.9m) built with uncoursed red sandstone rubble. Only the N, S and E walls survive with the interior of the church inaccessible due to the presence of a burial vault and dense overgrowth. The graveyard (TN008-058002) enclosing the church contains eighteenth/nineteenth-century headstones. The Royal Visitation of 1615 described the building as a ' church and chancell well repayred' (Murphy 1914, 221). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 September 2008
