In undulating countryside. Some uninscribed grave markers at the South of the Church (LA018-021001-). Several tombs of the Moores are to be found within the chancel of the former church which is now dismantled. It is walled off from the road leading to Timahoe, which is near and enclosed within a graveyard (LA018-021002-) that is seldom frequented (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 246). This was the burial place of the O'Moores of Cremorgan (Comerford 1886, vol. 3, 375). An earthen bank (Wth c. 2.25m; int. H c. 0.4m; ext. H c. 1.25m), retained by a stone wall externally, defines the graveyard (LA018-021002-) from NW-SE. Square shaped graveyard (int. dims. 27m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall containing post 1700 AD memorials.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record LA018-021002
