Present remains consist of a 19th century Protestant church and modern graveyard which probably dates to the 1700s. Nothing remains of the earlier church which was located in the present graveyard (O' Flanagan 1933, vol. 2, 6). Small building in the centre of the graveyard (OF030-016001-) that is indicated on the OS 6-inch map as a 'church in ruins' and is now used as a 19th century burial structure, may have been the site of an earlier church. Located to the NW of the C of I church are the ruins of Eglish castle (OF030-015----).
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.
