On the lower S-facing slope of Kilmacoliver Hill, overlooking the valley of the River Suir. The medieval church and graveyard (KK034-032002-) are located on the site of an early medieval monastery, as evidenced by four high crosses (KK034-032004-; KK034-032005-; KK034-032006-; KK034-032007-) within the graveyard. An archaeological excavation within the graveyard in 1985 (Hurley 1988, 124-34) revealed a wall and possible bank beneath it which may have been the ecclesiastical enclosure (KK034-032011-). Enclosed by this wall there was a layer of organically-enriched soil with associated medieval pottery which the excavator interpreted as a possible occupation layer (ibid. 130). Also revealed were a slot trench and post holes (ibid.).
