Defined by poorly preserved wall foundations, it may once have been a church, though the qualification matters here. This is a site that deals in possibilities rather than certainties, and there is something quietly compelling about a place whose religious identity rests on a scatter of stones and a measured footprint.

The suggestion that this is a church site comes from a 1938 reference by Hawkes, who noted the rectangular area towards the south-western side of the associated graveyard at Ballysize. The dimensions are modest but consistent with early ecclesiastical structures in Ireland, small single-cell buildings that served rural communities before any idea of a parish church in the modern sense. The location itself follows a pattern common to early Christian sites in Ireland, a slope edge near water, the kind of place that attracted hermits, monks, and local founders alike. Without more surviving fabric, it is impossible to say with confidence when the structure was built or by whom, and the record remains deliberately cautious on that score.
