What is recorded here

Situated on a low level rise in undulating terrain. All that remains of the church is a possible wall foundation (Wth 1m; H 0.2m) running N-S towards the E end of an irregular area of stones (dims. 27m E-W; 15.5m N-S) defined at the N by a stone bank (Wth 2m; H 0.8m). The site is very overgrown. No visible trace of the enclosure shown around the church on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. Archaeological test trenches opened in the vicinity of this monument in 2007, as part of the construction of the Enniskerry water supply scheme (Excavation Licence 07E0169), did not reveal anything of archaeological significance (Bayley 2010, 555) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 13 December 2012 Revised by: Claire Breen

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
