What is recorded here

Situated on a slight rise of ground in undulating countryside. The poorly preserved remains of an ivy-covered rectangular building (TN008-058001) built with uncoursed red sandstone rubble. Only the N, S and E walls survive with the interior of the church inaccessible due to the presence of a burial vault and dense overgrowth. The irregular shaped graveyard (approx. int. dims. 63m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) enclosing the church contains eighteenth/nineteenth-century headstones. The Royal Visitation of 1615 described the building as a ' church and chancell well repayred' (Murphy 1914, 221). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien. Date of upload: 22 September 2008
