A small circular mound of overgrown stones, believed to represent part of the chancel wall of an early church, sits near the western boundary of a garden, roughly a hundred metres north of where the church once stood. By 1842, the building had already vanished so completely that the Ordnance Survey mapmakers did not mark it at all, and the 1902 edition ignored it equally. Only the 1950 map acknowledged even a "site of", by which point the ground had long since been absorbed into the approach to a nineteenth-century house.

The church was popularly known as the sailor's church, a name that speaks to the working life of the Lee estuary below it, where the docks once ran. Its tithes, at some point in its history, were appropriated to a leper hospital identified in older sources as "Glenmaggyr", tentatively connected to Glanmire. Leprosy hospitals in medieval Ireland were typically run by religious orders and funded through exactly this kind of tithe arrangement, drawing income from local ecclesiastical properties. What is quietly remarkable about this site is that the burial ground outlasted the building by a considerable period, continuing in use long after the church itself had collapsed or been cleared away. The dead kept arriving even when there was no longer a roof overhead, which suggests the ground held a significance that the structure alone did not entirely account for.
