What makes it quietly strange is that the Church of Ireland building once recorded within its northern quadrant has entirely vanished from the surface, leaving the graveyard itself as the only legible presence on the ground.

The site carries layers that reach back well before any Protestant congregation used it. According to the Ordnance Survey letters compiled by John O'Flanagan in 1930, the church that stood here was built on the site of the medieval church of Cullen, a dedication that anchors the place in an earlier ecclesiastical landscape. By the time the first edition six-inch Ordnance Survey map was drawn in 1840, the Church of Ireland building was present and recorded in the northern part of the burial ground. At some point after that survey, it disappeared entirely, leaving no standing walls, no foundations visible above the grass, nothing to indicate a structure was ever there. The graveyard remains, along with its elevated ground and its long sight lines, but the building that once occupied one corner of it has been absorbed back into the earth. Nearby, within a few hundred metres, a castle site lies to the north-east and two holy wells sit close by, one to the north-east and one almost directly north, a clustering of feature types that is common in early Irish ecclesiastical landscapes, where sacred water, settlement, and worship occupied the same small stretch of territory for centuries.
