What is recorded here

Situated on a level spur overlooking the Avoca valley to the E. The church is shown as a rectangular structure on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. It was located c. 60m SW of the now abandoned 19th-century church and there is now no trace at ground level. The graveyard is quadrangular, defined by a modern stone wall, and contains a number of late 18th and 19th-century headstones. The road which curves around the graveyard may represent the line of the original enclosure.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record WI040-004002
