Someone, at some point, decided that the opening was more useful as a marker than as a source of light, and the mullion that once divided its two pointed lights had already been removed by the time surveyors recorded it in 1840. What remains of the church is modest but specific: the east gable, about 5.5 metres wide, and roughly 7.9 metres of the south wall running from it, rising to around 3.65 metres. Attached to the south side is a separate enclosure, apparently built at the same time as the church itself, later fitted with a modern brick entrance and an iron gate, and used as a private burial place. The whole site sits on elevated ground in rolling Limerick pasture, with the land dropping away to the east and southeast.

The place carried an older name long before any of this was recorded: Tuath Aosa Ghréine, meaning the territory of Aos Ghréine. By 1437 the vicarage here was valued at a modest 1 shilling and three farthings, and by 1621 the rectory had risen in value to 15 shillings. The antiquarian Thomas Westropp, writing in 1904 and 1905, noted that in 1544 the manor and castle of the territory, which had apparently been seized by a group referred to in the records as "the Oolde children," were granted to one Thady MacBrian of Grene Ogonagh. The parish was eventually united with Abington in 1776. The church ruins were already recorded on the Down Survey map of the mid-seventeenth century, shown to the northeast of Tuogh Castle, the remains of which still stand roughly 610 metres to the south-southwest.

The site sits immediately south of a road and is surrounded by a walled graveyard that was, according to the 1840 Ordnance Survey letters, still very much in use at that time. Visitors should look carefully at the east window from both sides: the blocked interior and the chiselled limestone tracery of the exterior tell two quite different stories about how the building has been used over the centuries. The nearby holy well of Toberbreedia is also recorded in the same townland. Those with an interest in early cartography can find the church marked on the Down Survey parish map, held at the National Library of Ireland as MS 718.
