Family commitments meant that I couldn't do much today, so my wife and I went to Glendalough for the afternoon. Apart from wandering around the rest of the site, I finally managed to visit this lovely church ruin.
The graveyard around it is quite lovely - lots of old crosses and graveslabs. The walk up to it is also really nice, as the approach is up a little sunken path flanked by drystone walling. The remains of the church are quite scant, but the doorway, a couple of the windows on the south face, the east window and a lovely chancel arch are still present. It also appears not to have been messed around with too much either, or it's been rebuilt well.
The chancel looks as if it was added to the main section some time after initial construction. On all the corners there are fine, undecorated corbels, which would have supported a projecting roof.
