Situated on a natural hillock in undulating countryside. The poorly preserved remains of a rectangular church (ext. dims. 7.5m N-S; 19m E-W; wall T 0.75m) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble. Only the W gable survives intact with portions of the N and S walls along with the lower courses of the E wall. A possible door is located at the W end of the N wall with an ivy-covered single-light ogee-headed window in the W gable. A possible ecclesiastical enclosure (TN027-028002) is indicated by a townland boundary to the N of the church. The curving line is visible from the air (CUCAP, AVN 76) but is not visible at ground level. The enclosing graveyard (TN007-028003) contains eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth-century headstones with a nineteenth-century C of I place of worship in the E sector of the graveyard.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary. Vol. 1 - North Tipperary' compiled by Jean Farrelly and Caimin O'Brien (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2002). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
