For me this site is all about the hill. The well maintained graveyard and church ruin sit on the very summit of a splendid hill.
There is very little of the church left and no sign at all of the remains of a round tower as mentioned on the sign by the farm gate. The site could do with a little information board with a map.
In the field to the east of the site there is a modern cross, which stands on an exposed outcrop of rock. The aforementioned sign at the farm gate also mentions St. Patrick's Kneeling Stone perhaps this outcrop is it (?)

From Foynes head east along the N69 for a little over 1km until you see Knockpatrick signposted to the right. Follow this road for 2km until you reach the second 5-way junction. Turn right and continue until you reach the farm gate on the right, which has large signs for the site. Drive up this track until the first gate and park. You will have to walk from here up the hill to reach the church.
