The stones are there, beneath the growth, but the site asks for effort and patience from anyone hoping to read its outline. What makes it quietly peculiar is not just its state of abandonment but the suggestion that it was, at some point, quietly dismantled for the benefit of a neighbour.

The scholar O. Davies recorded the site during an Irish Tourist Association survey in 1940, and returned to it in a 1948 publication. He noted not only the church foundations but a cross-slab within the graveyard, a carved stone of the kind commonly associated with early Christian burial practice in Ireland. More intriguingly, he proposed that a decorated pillar stone now standing at the Church of Ireland chapel at Denn Glebe, roughly 1,200 metres to the north-east, was originally taken from this site. If Davies was right, some carved piece of this old foundation was lifted and relocated to a functioning Protestant chapel within walking distance, repurposed rather than left to the brambles. The two holy wells just outside the graveyard's south-western perimeter add another layer; holy wells in Ireland are often associated with early ecclesiastical sites and with patterns of local devotion that persisted long after the formal religious life of a place had ended.

The site is densely overgrown, which means the foundations and the cross-slab require close attention to find. The holy wells sit outside the enclosure to the south-west, which gives a rough sense of the perimeter even when vegetation obscures it. Anyone with an interest in the decorated pillar stone might find it worth comparing the two locations, the ruined foundation here and the chapel at Denn Glebe, to consider what Davies observed about their connection.
