This is a very interesting twelfth century romanesque church.MacCarthys round tower is attached to this church at the junction of the nave and chancel on the south side.An annalistic reference under the year 1013 gives an indication that ther may have been an earlier church on this same site. The walls of the nave survive to only a few feet in height and only the basal stones of the romanesque south doorway which was in three orders. A romanesque chancel arch in three orders in the east wall of the nave is quite complete. the origanal carved sandstone of the arch suffered damage in the past possibly from fire, and the inner order was rebuilt in plain limestone in late medieval or early post medieval times. The chancelis finely built and the doorway at groundlevel gives access to the tower which was the belfry of the church. Part of the inner arch of a finely decorated romanesque windowcan be seen on the west wall of the nave but may not at all belong to this church
