Marked as the site of a church on the 1839 and 1923 eds of the OS 6-inch map, and described by John O'Donovan c. 1840 as a destroyed church and graveyard (O'Flanagan 1933, 242). It is situated towards the bottom of a SE-facing slope of a NE-SW ridge, with spurs of the hill extending to the E and S within c. 500m.
The remains of an enclosure are at the location. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims. 31m N-S; 18.5m E-W) defined by a slight bank (Wth c. 5m; H 0.3-0.4m) separated by a fosse (Wth of top c. 4-5m) from traces of an outer bank (Wth 2-3m; ext. H 0.2m) W-N-E. It was truncated when farm outhouses were built c. 1970, at which time bones were said to have been found. Tobermurry Well (WX005-006---), a lintelled rectangular well, with a modern granite cross (H 0.58m), is c. 140m to the SE.
