On level ground in gently undulating terrain, surrounded by tillage. The church (diams. Overall 20m E-W; 7.75m N-S; wall T 0.85m) is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble. A length of the S wall (L 8m) survives to a height of 3m above ext., while the W gable survives to a height of 1.15m above ext. towards the NW corner but is reduced to two courses high towards the S.

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.
