What is recorded here
Situated at the foot of a marked E-facing slope. Marked 'Site of Church, Graveyard' on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. All that survives of the church is a granite sill (possibly from a window) and part of a bevelled window arch. There are no early features visible in the graveyard (dims. c. 45m x 25m) apart from a bullaun (dims. 0.4m x 0.35m x 0.35m), and there is no trace of the graveslab mentioned in the OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 130). The landowner says there are several more bullauns on this site but no others were located. The site is in very poor condition and is visible as a roughly rectangular area 0.5m higher than the surrounding ground, strewn with field boulders and tree stumps.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
