No stone, no foundation course, no grassy mound survives to suggest that anything was ever there. The square itself is the only marker, named for a building that has not stood for centuries and whose last physical traces were already disappearing by the 1890s.

The church of St Peter stood just outside the medieval town wall, a position typical of parishes that served populations living beyond the fortified core. In 1615, a formal visitation by Thomas Ram, the Protestant bishop of Ferns, found the church and chancel both in repair, with a curate named David Browne serving the parish. Sometime in the decades that followed, the building was destroyed. A writer identified as Synott, writing around 1680, described it as recently ruined, placing the destruction somewhere in the middle of the seventeenth century, a period of considerable violence and upheaval across Ireland. By 1839, when the Ordnance Survey produced its first detailed six-inch mapping of the country, the church appeared on the sheet as a roofless shell, roughly twenty metres from east to west, sitting within a graveyard of around fifty by forty metres. A local account from the 1890s noted that the foundations were still visible, though the graveyard was by then neglected. After that, silence. Urban development consumed both church and burial ground so completely that there is nothing left to see.
