A century earlier, in the 1839 edition of the same survey, the building was recorded with enough substance to be given dimensions: roughly fifteen metres east to west and eight metres north to south. That is a modest but legible footprint, the kind of small rural church that once served a scattered parish before the landscape reorganised itself around it and quietly moved on.

The site sits on a natural shelf at the foot of an east-facing slope, positioned about fifteen metres north of a deep ravine, around ten metres in depth, cut by a stream running south to north. That stream feeds into the Polehore Pill, placing this little ruin within a particular watershed in south County Wexford. The setting is topographically deliberate in the way early ecclesiastical sites often are, slightly elevated, defined by water, tucked into the land rather than planted on top of it. What complicates the picture further is that cairn material, loose stone heaped over or around the site, was removed during the 1980s. The clearance left behind something more ambiguous than a ruin: a vegetation mark, the ghostly outline of a rectangular enclosure with external dimensions of roughly twenty metres north to south and fifteen metres east to west. Notably, the eastern edge of this enclosure appears to have been absent, which raises questions that the ground itself is no longer in a position to answer about what was once there and what was lost before anyone thought to look carefully.
