The site is listed among Ireland's known archaeological monuments, yet the details that would normally accompany such a designation, its age, its dedication, the community it once served, remain formally undocumented in any publicly accessible form.

Church sites of this kind are scattered across Mayo in considerable numbers, many of them early medieval foundations that served small rural parishes for centuries before falling into disuse, ruin, or gradual absorption into the landscape. Some retain visible fabric, a gable end, a stretch of enclosing wall, a scattering of worked stone. Others survive only as a slight rise in a field, a patch of ground that locals have long known not to disturb, or a placename carrying the memory of something sacred that once stood there. Without further documentation, it is not possible to say with any confidence which category Ardoley falls into, or whether any physical remains are visible above ground at all.
