[1][2][3][4] The church is located on the R506 road, near Barringtonsbridge approximately 6 km (3.7 mi) southeast of Annacotty, north of the River Mulkear.

[5] A monastery was founded here by Saint Mo-Diomog (feast day 10 December)[6] in the 6th or 7th century.

The west part of the church, incorporating the west doorway is Romanesque, built of roughly coursed large stones, mostly sandstone.

It has a well-preserved doorway with an arch of three orders, with Romanesque carving around the jambs.

[10][11][12] The capitals and columns with chevrons are similar to those at Aghadoe.
