Description
The following description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Carlow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1993). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 16 December 2009 Revised by: J. Farrelly According to ITA Survey (1945), founded by St Abban in early sixth century. Subsequently attached to St Thomas' Abbey, Dublin. The 1839 'OS 6-inch' map shows remains of structure described by O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 119) as 'foundations... measuring thirty nine feet in length and twenty feet in breath. There is a small and little-frequented graveyard attached to the old site'. Leask (1941, OPW file) recorded traces of church of granite, with one piece of chamfered door jamb lying loose. No visible traces of either church or graveyard (CW018-017002-). Single eighteenth-century headstone lies on site.

Description
According to ITA Survey (1945), founded by St Abban in the early sixth century. Subsequently attached to St Thomas' Abbey, Dublin. It is depicted by a dashed line on the 1839 'OS 6-inch' map, rectangular in shape with the church (CW018-017001-) in the NW angle. O'Donovan (OSL 1839, 119) refers to 'a small and little-frequented graveyard attached to the old site'. By the latest 6-inch ed. the graveyard is roughly D-shaped (map dims. 26m E-W along straight N side, c. 24m N-S) and the church is no longer visible, being depicted by a cross. No visible traces of either church or graveyard. Single eighteenth-century headstone lies on site. Compiled by: Jean Farrelly Date of upload: 19 August 2011
