What is recorded here
On a ridge in undulating grassland; it is situated in a modern L-shaped graveyard. Marked on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map as a small roofed rectangular building (c. 8m by c. 4m), aligned N-S. What survives are the low grassed-over foundation lines of a rectangular building (E-W; L 10.4m, Wth 4.8m). No architectural features are visible. However, the presence of a bullaun c. 9m to S of the church, when coupled with the td. name, hints at an E. Chr. horizon for this site. (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 68)
