Reference to church (LA019-016) rebuilt or remodelled in 1608 (O'Flanagan 1933, Vol 1, 264-265). A late siteenth century parish church with undivided nave and chancel, and a slight base batter. All visible headstones post date 1700 AD. Irreglularly shaped graveyard (int. dims. 53m N-S; 33m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall containing post 1700 AD memorials. Church located in N quadrant of graveyard. An Early Christian sandstone cross-slab (LA019-016002-) which is decorated on both faces was recently found in the graveyard during a clean-up scheme (pers. comm. D. Delaney). On one face there is an incised cross with interlaced terminals with the initials E D later carved on the bottom of the slab and on the other face there is a panel of interlace enclosed by a trriple-lined circle, below which there is an interlaced triquetra knot.
