Situated on level ground overlooking a sharp drop to the SW. Poorly preserved church of which only the E gable (L 1.5m; H 1.8m; T 0.85m) survives. The OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1928, 84-5) describe the church as measuring 16.5m long by 5.8m wide, (average H 1m) with an internal partition 5.5m from the E end, and part of a window of cut stone surviving at the E end of the S wall. The church is traditionally associated with St Ernin (Ronan 1928, 139-40), and lies towards the N end of an oval graveyard (dims. 50m NE-SW; 40m NW-SE) defined by an early 19th-century wall possibly built on the perimeter of an earlier enclosure. Some 18th-century headstones have been re-erected along the wall. There is a granite font (diam. 0.8m; H 0.4m) beside the E gable of church.
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.
