Situated on a low rise of ground with extensive views; site of possible castle (TN007-056001) nearby. Uskane House is located immediately to the NW of the church. Listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Killaloe in 1302 (CDI, vol. 5, 302). The Royal Visitation of 1615 described the building as a 'church and chancell decayed, all save the vicars part' (Murphy 1914, 221). The poorly preserved remains of an ivy-covered church (ext. dims. 9.2m N-S; 21m E-W; wall T 0.85m) built with roughly coursed limestone rubble which is located at the W end of a small elongated graveyard (TN007-056003). The remains of a twin-light ogee-headed window are visible in the E gable with single-light ogee-headed windows located opposite each other at the E end of the N and S walls. A destroyed doorway with its surviving rere-arch consisting of a segmental arch of roughly cut voussoirs with keystone still survives at the W end of the S wall. There are two small aumbries located close to each other in the SE angle of the E gable and the E end of the S wall. The graveyard contains eighteenth to twentieth-century headstones and is enclosed by a stone wall which is attached to the church at the SW and NE angles. A modern lean-to shed has been built against the external face of the N wall. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Tipperary.

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.
