In grassland on a low rise of ground with good views in all directions, Derryvella bog to W and Slieveardagh hills to SE. The 19th century ruins of a farmhouse and farmyard are indicated on the 2nd (1905) ed. OS 6-inch map as 'The Demesne', located immediately E of the church (TS048-038----). The church is located on a long rectangular platform (dims. 40m NE-SW; 60m NW-SE) which may represent the remains of the graveyard. The platform is defined by a scarp (H 1-1.3m) and external fosse (base Wth 3m; top Wth 6m; ext. D 0.3m), with slight evidence of an outer bank (base Wth 8m; top Wth 4m; ext. H 0.3m) at the W only. A field boundary bisects the platform on a NW-SE axis. The field to the S of the church appears to have been drained or reclaimed in the 19th century, with evidence of small drainage systems in this field, suggesting that the land surrounding the church may have been wet and marshy when the church was in use.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record TS048-038001
