What is recorded here

Lisbunny Church (in ruins) is a graveyard in Lisbunny, County Tipperary, Ireland. The church stands at the north end of the graveyard, with a nave and chancel marked by a partly surviving dividing wall. The south wall of the nave is destroyed, the east gable has a large light, and all chancel windows are broken out. A concrete wall monument abuts the north wall at the east end, concrete rendering coats the external north face of the nave, and ivy obscures much of the surviving walls.
