What is recorded here

Dolla Church (in Ruins) is a graveyard in Kilboy (Kilmore parish, North Riding), County Tipperary, Ireland. The site holds a long rectangular church with a later south transept at the east end of its south wall. A small tower stands at the west end as a priest's room, marked by a destroyed doorway in the centre of its east wall. The church keeps a two-centred doorway at the west end of the north wall, a partially destroyed window in the centre of that wall, and later cusped windows at the east end of both side walls.
Situated on a low natural rise in slightly undulating countryside. The present remains consist of a long rectangular church (TN026-061001) with a later S transept added to the E end of the S wall of the church. There is a small priest's room in the form of a small tower at the W end of the church with a destroyed doorway in the centre of the E wall of the tower. The church has a two-centred doorway at the W end of the N wall with a partially destroyed window at the centre of the N wall and later cusped windows at the E end of the N and S walls. There is a large rectangular graveyard with eighteenth and nineteenth-century-headstones.
