Located on a slight rise of ground with good views in all directions. Ballinrath Castle (OF011-032----) located 590m to WSW and Ballykilleen ringfort (OF011-035001-) 950m to E. Only the W wall and NW angle now remain upstanding of this medieval church (OF011-034001-) standing in the centre of a roughly square-shaped graveyard (OF011-034002-). Earthworks (OF011-034003-) outside the graveyard (OF011-034002-) wall were described in 1977 as 'some low banks & scarps indicate the remains of enclosures outside the graveyard' (SMR file 1977). These earthworks or enclosures may represent the remains of an old field system.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
