Located on flat, low-lying ground c. 140m from the S shore of Lough Melvin and on the W side of an entrance lane. The church (LE005-003001-) is at the N side of a rectangular graveyard (dims c. 50m N-S; c. 20-25m E-W) defined by masonry walls. It contains two cross-slabs and a stone with two cup-marks. A new graveyard was commenced E of the lane before 2005 (OSAP). Archaeological testing (18E0055) S of the new graveyard reached subsoil, a grey sand / gravel (D 0.6-0.75m) without encountering archaeological features (Carey 2018), and further testing (19E0042) E of the church revealed a very disturbed area of re-deposited clays, silts and sand incorporating plastics (D 1.6-2.2m) over the gravel subsoil (Carey 2019).
