On the floor of a valley, in reclaimed grassland. There are good views in all directions within the valley. According to the OS Letters (1839), there is, 'a new Protestant Church built on the site of the old church, which they say was called the Church of the Trinity. There is a large burying ground attached to it. There was a Patron held here on Trinity Sunday until twenty years ago' (O'Flanagan 1930, vol. 1, 207 (69)). Carrigan (1905, vol. 2, 266) agrees that the, 'ancient church of Ballinamarra, dedicated to the Most Holy Trinity, has been razed to the ground, and a modern Protestant church built on the site'. The C of I church is located in the NW quadrant of a roughly rectangular graveyard (KK013-084002-). According to O'Kelly (1969 (1985 reprint), 4) the C of I church was 'closed to Divine Service since 1945'. A holy well known as 'Trinity Well' is located c. 500m to the SE.
