Located on the E facing slope of rising ground in undulating countryside. Only the wall footings survive of a small church (17.1m E-W; N-S 9.5m N-S; wall T 1.15m) built with large limestone boulders with rubble infill. Possible threshold stone of doorway at W end of S wall. Immediately to the SW are the remains of an irregular shaped enclosure defined by a scarp with loosely piled rubble on top. Portions of five quern stones were discovered amongst the rubble. No headstones or grave-markers were visible inside the enclosure (OF045-007002-) which defines the extent of the graveyard (OF045-007003-). Probable early medieval church with enclosure that defines the extent of the medieval graveyard.
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.
