On an elevation south of Rollestown Village above the Broadmeadow river are the remains of the medieval parish church of Killossery within a walled graveyard. This church was described as ruinous in the Civil survey (1654-6) (Simington 1945, 208). It is a plain rectangular building (L 13m, Wth.5.90m), aligned E-W with a doorway in the W end of the N side wall. This had a round arch in the 19th-century (Walsh 1888, 238). A plain, widely splayed window in the E gable lights the interior. A font from the church was moved to Swords RC Church (DU011-070----). East and west gables survive to window height. North wall survives 0.5m-1.5m, slight traces of south wall.
