Unclassified monastic establishment (Gwynn & Hadcock 1988, 369) also known as Triogue. Built of poorly coursed limestone rubble, remains consist of E gable of church (max. dims. 20.60m E-W, 5.50m N-S) with only the foundation level of its other walls surviving. A barrel-vaulted building (max. dims. 7.30m N-S, 5.30m E-W) attached to S wall of nave. Simple slit ope with glazing-bar-holes visible in E gable, which apparently was 'trefoil headed' (JKAS 1904, Vol. IV, 194). Probably a late-medieval parish church (O'Hanlon and O'Leary 1907, vol. 1, 180; Vol II, 587; JKAS 1904, Vol IV, 194)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Laois' (Dublin Stationery Office, 1995) compiled by P. David Sweetman, Olive Alcock and Bernie Moran. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
