What is recorded here

The church in County Kildare still holds its rectangular shape, though grass and livestock have worn its walls to a low ridge. Its doorway has vanished into a gap in the south stone, and an old headstone lies buried inside the ruin. The place has given up much of its form, but it keeps the memory of being built for worship.
To the E of centre of an ecclesiastical enclosure (KD004-026001-). A ruinous rectangular structure (int. dims. L 12.6m E-W; Wth 4.8m N-S) is defined by low, collapsed, grassed-over stone walling (Wth 3.4m; int H 0.2m; ext. H 0.8m), with original internal and external wall facing stones surviving at E (wall T 1.1m). A gap (Wth 2.1m) near the W end of the S wall marks the location of a robbed-out doorway. The interior contains an 18th/19th century headstone and the site is heavily poached by livestock. Compiled by: Gearóid Conroy Date of upload: 10 June 2011
