The cross form is unusual, the seven arms giving it an asymmetry that sets it apart from the more familiar ringed or Latin crosses found elsewhere on medieval funerary carving in Ireland. It lies near the entrance to a barrel-vaulted tower that was built onto the eastern end of the chancel, and just south of an open stone sarcophagus, the kind of lidless chest tomb that was occasionally used for burial in late medieval Irish ecclesiastical sites. Around it, the chancel floor holds five other late medieval graveslabs, and two more from the seventeenth century, dated 1643 and 1644, decorated with fleur-de-lis motifs. A further late medieval slab sits in the south-east angle of the nave, near the chancel arch.

The site at Tinvoher sits on an east-facing slope in undulating Tipperary countryside, with a ringwork to the west and a tower house to the east, a clustering of monument types that suggests a place of some local significance across several centuries. The church itself, its nave and chancel now draped in ivy, was already established enough by 1302 to be listed in the ecclesiastical taxation of the Diocese of Cashel, a document that recorded the taxable value of churches across the diocese for papal purposes. The surrounding graveyard holds eighteenth and nineteenth-century headstones, and in its western sector a water spout, possibly salvaged from the tower, has been set into the ground surface, a small detail that speaks to how communities quietly reused and remembered the fabric of older structures long after they had ceased to function.
