The upper portion of the west gable is very much injured. The south wall remains with the exception of two breaches, of which hereafter. There are only two small portions of the north wall remaining, the one adjoining the west gable, the other about (near) the middle of the wall. This Church was forty three and a half feet [13.2m] long by twenty one and a half feet [6.5m] in breadth. On the south side wall, about five feet [1.5m] from the east, there is a breach of about five feet [1.5m] (in width) extending to within three and a half feet [1m] of the ground. The western side of this breach presents the appearance of that of a window, widening on the inside. On the same wall, ten feet [3m] from the west gable, there is a large breach extending to the ground, evidently where the doorway was placed. The south west corner is destroyed. On the upper part of the portion of the west gable which remains there is a breach which may have been a window, now disfigured. The north side wall is featureless. The walls of this Church are about nine feet [2.7m] high and two feet seven inches [0.8m] in thickness. There is a large burial ground still used attached to this Church’ (OSL vol. 2, 33-4) .

• LI031-079 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Holy well located immediately N of Tullabracky Castle (LI031-078----) with Tullabracky church (LI031-077001-) and graveyard (LI031-077002-) 180m to N. Holy Well described in 1840 as following; ‘at a very short distance southward of the old Church, close to the house of Mr. Maloney, there is a holy well called by the people variously Tobar Mullana, Tobar Mhlunna, and in English Blunny's Well, Mullany's Well and Lunny's Well. The Saint to whom it is dedicated is called Mullana Naomhtha, and in English Blunny; some say that Blunny Maruainigh is the Saint's name. He is believed to have been the founder of the Church (called by some Friary) of Tullabracky. Over the side of this well there is a rocky stone, having on the side facing the well two incisions, traditionally believed to be the impressions of the Saint's knees while at prayer. The people state that there was formerly a "Pattern" here, but the day is not remembered; the well is still however, though seldom, visited for the cure of various diseases. The name of the Patron Saint of this well does not resemble the name of any Saint given in the Irish Calendar; the nearest to it is Mlubhnáin Liaigh, whose festival fell on the 29th March' (OSL vol. 2, 34). Well described by Ó Danachair (1955, 210) as following; "Lunny's Well" local name. Not named on maps. A clear strong spring issuing from a rock said to bear the print of the saint's knees. Now enclosed and pumped way for domestic supply. No devotions now, but the water is said to cure ailments.

"Parish Church of Tillibreaka. It is a prebend, and dedicated to St Molan, 5th day of May". White's List, in Lenihan, Limerick, p. 560.
