In undulating countryside. Visible headstones are post 1700 AD. According to Carrigan it was a very small church (LA022-022002-), and in 1862 its E gable and S wall were knocked down and the material used in the construction of the surrounding rectangular graveyard wall (Carrigan 1905, vol. 2, 64). The foundations of a rectangular church now barely visible survive. A slight curve in the field bank E of the graveyard may indicate the remains of an enclosure (LA022-022001-).
Rectangular shaped graveyard (int. dims. 14m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by a stone wall containing post 1700 AD memorials.
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.
