On a rise in undulating pastureland, c. 350m to the SSE of the town of Athenry (see GA084-001----). This poorly preserved rectangular church, which is aligned E-W, now stands in the front garden of a house close to a byroad. It is probably of medieval date and only the heavily ivy-covered W gable (int. L 5.9m; H c. 4.5m) and short returns of the N (int. L 0.6n; H 0.5m; wall T 0.8m) and S ( int. L 1.3m; H 2.75m; wall T 1m) side-walls survive. No architectural features are evident. An 18th-century wall monument (GA084-021001-) is set into the roadside face of the wall to the left of the gate leading into the church. (Cody 1989, 338-9, no. 152, 381-2, no. 166)
