What is recorded here

Situated on a gentle E-facing slope. Only the E end of a rectangular structure (present L 6m; int. Wth 6.2m) survives, defined by rubble foundations (Wth 1-1.4m; H 0.4m) and standing on a low plinth (H 1m). The church remains are in the NE end of the graveyard. The graveyard is rectangular in shape (dims c. 50m NE-SW; 30m NW-SE) and defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.6-2m; H 0.4-2m) with drystone facing. The entrance (Wth 2.3m) is between granite pillars at the SW. There are some eighteenth-century headstones within the church ruins. 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 upload/revision: 19 September 2013
