The site is beautifully situated between the Lakes of Drumlane and Derrybrick near the village of Milltown.

In the church are a number of interesting stone heads, one is above the door in the west wall and another three are to be seen on the external face of the east window.

Near the church there are a series of earthworks, probably the remains of the twelfth century Augustinian Priory.
