Situated on a low rise in a level landscape. A chapel-of-ease at Jarretstown in the large parish of Dunboyne is amongst nine chapels recorded by Cogan (1862-70, vol. 1, 190), who says that this church had been destroyed and the stones removed, including those around the graveyard, although burial continued until c. 1820. John O’Donovan, writing in 1836, records that the reilicín was still being used for the burial of unbaptized infants (Herity 1001, 114). It is marked as an irregularly-shaped area described as an 'Old Burying Ground' on the 1836 ed. of the OS 6" map. The foundations of a small building (ME053-005----) survive within a small sub-triangular enclosure (dims c. 20m NW-SE; c. 20m NE-SW) defined by low earthen banks or a plough scarp.
