Beside it, a cross-slab. And somewhere close by, marked on an Ordnance Survey map as late as 1931 simply as "Church (site of)", there is almost nothing left of what was once a church at all. That near-total absence is itself the point of interest here.

By the 1830s, when the Ordnance Survey Letters were compiled, two portions of the south wall were still visible to the south-east of the round tower. O'Flanagan's 1929 publication records this observation, but the decades since have seen even those remnants subside into the earth. What survives today amounts to two low, grass-covered stony banks, each roughly a metre wide and about thirty centimetres high, set perpendicular to one another about ten metres south-east of the round tower. One bank runs approximately six metres on an east-north-east to west-south-west axis; from its eastern end, a shorter length of around three metres extends to the north-north-west. The resulting L-shape is thought to represent what remains of the south and east walls of the church, though the area has been overlain by more recent grave plots, which complicates any reading of the ground. A fragment of a round-headed window, along with other cut stone recovered from the graveyard, is likely to have originated from the church building itself. Round-headed windows of this kind are characteristic of early medieval ecclesiastical construction in Ireland, and their presence in loose fragments is often the only material trace of a church that has otherwise vanished entirely. The graveyard that now encloses this site, together with its tower and cross-slab, quietly marks a place where a community once gathered for purposes that the landscape no longer makes legible.
