[1] Within the church also lies an early 16th century[1] stone effigy of a chain-mailed knight named Sir Thomas FitzEustace of Castlemartin (died 1454), which was brought there in 1919[5] for safe-keeping from Old Kilcullen.

The site was originally the location of an earlier early medieval Irish religious foundation, as evidenced by the two 10th-century high crosses situated to the north and south of the present church building.

[7] The second high cross exists to the southeast of the modern church but is in bad repair, all that remains being the shaft, but still stands to approximately 6 feet.

[6] Approximately thirteen distinctive late medieval grave slabs (or graveslabs) from the 12th–13th century lie within the graveyard of the church.

[9] The church is located on the top of a small raised hill hugged on one side by the main Ballymore Eustace to N81 road.

The church and graveyard are accessed by a stile at the main entrance gate which lies at the end of a short lane off this road.
