Medieval church ruins (LI028-103002-) standing in centre of rectangular-shaped graveyard (approx. dims. 45m N-S x 70m E-W) located at S end of the village of Ardagh (LI028-103001-). Holy well (LI028-103004-) dedicated to St. Molua located 60m to SSW. St. Patrick's R.C. Church and modern car park located immediately to N. Small graveyard extension to S and SE. According to Bradley (1989, vol. 1, 49), 'It has been mentioned above that there is a possibility that this was a pre-Norman church site. This suggestion is based on its dedication to Molua, the fact that the land belonged to the see of Limerick at the beginning of the thirteenth century, and the fact that the church gave its name to one of the deaneries of the medieval diocese'.
