What is recorded here
Situated on level ground overlooking a sharp drop to the SW. Poorly preserved church (WI025-010001-) of which only the E gable survives. The church is traditionally associated with St Ernin (Ronan 1928, 139-40), and lies towards the N end of an oval graveyard (dims. 50m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) defined by an early 19th-century wall possibly built on the perimeter of an earlier enclosure. Some 18th-century headstones have been re-erected along the wall. There is a granite font (WI025-010002-) beside the E gable of church.
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.
