On a W-facing slope within a meander of the Clare River: the monument stands within an overgrown rectangular graveyard. Traditionally regarded as the site of St Jarlath's first monastic foundation before his move to Tuam (Gwynn and Hadcock 1970, 377; see GA029-199----). The church is marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a roofed rectangular building, aligned E-W. All that survives is part of an ivy-clad W gable and adjoining section of N side-wall of a rectangular building (ESE-WNW: L >1.75m, Wth >3.55m). According to OS Letters (O'Flanagan 1927, Vol. 1, 44, also 34-5, 42-5), its internal dimensions 'as is definable by the foundation, were '13 yards by 4 yards' (L 11.8m, Wth 3.7m). Of W gable, OS Letters (ibid.) also record that there was 'a window or opening on, or near its top' but no trace of it was noted. Intermittent wall foundations are also visible just to NW and SW of the church. A CBG (GA029-058003-) and a bullaun lie immediately to S.

A townland is the smallest land division of Ireland, and the unit of a rural address; old registers such as the 1901 and 1911 censuses file it under its civil parish and barony.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
