Situated at the bottom of a NE-facing slope on the NE-SW spine of Carrickbyrne Hill, and on the W side of a NW-SE road. A mass-rock (WX035-097001-) was known locally to be in an area that had been overgrown until 2000 AD when the owner and others cleared it(http://www.newbawnns.info/ringsofred/churches.htm accessed on 30-10-2012). The mass-rock was associated with a granite cross (WX035-097002-), and a building at the roadside, regarded locally as a hege-school, was conserved at the same time. This is a two-room structure (int. dims 9.85m NW-SE; 2.8m NE-SW) defined by low, clay-bonded walls (T 0.55m; H 0.6m), with an entrance (Wth 0.5m) from the road at the S end of the NE wall marked by upright stones (dims. 0.45m x 0.1m; H 1.05-1.15m). An internal wall divides it into two rooms of almost equal size with a gap (Wth 0.6m) against the NE wall. There is no evidence of a fireplace.
