Located on a slight, broad col. This is the probable parish church of Killesk within a D-shaped graveyard (int. dims 58m NW-SE; 35m NE-SW) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 2.5m; int. H 1.5m), with an external stone cladding on the bank W-N. The perimeter is augmented with old spoil at the straight SE side and the adjacent parts of the SW and E (Wth 6m) sides.

H 1-1.4m) of a rectangular building oriented E-W (int. dims. 8.3m E-W; 4.2m N-S) survive with no visible features, but there is a wide spread of cairn material. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wexford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1996).

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.
