The seventeenth-century church is a post-medieval ecclesiastical site located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Built upon bedrock of the Tyrone Group formation, the church rests on geological strata dating to the Visean period, comprising limestone, mudstone, sandstone and siltstone interspersed with subordinate deposits of chert, coal and conglomerate. This varied geology underlies much of the surrounding landscape and would have influenced construction materials available to the builders.
The site is situated at grid reference H1208052400 and represents the religious settlement patterns of seventeenth-century Fermanagh, a period of significant ecclesiastical reconstruction and consolidation across Ulster following the Plantation period. The church's location reflects both the spiritual requirements of the post-medieval parish and practical considerations of accessibility and congregation gathering within the local terrain.
The monument is formally protected by the Historic Environment Division under reference number 9679, ensuring its preservation as a record of post-medieval religious life and architectural practice in this region of Northern Ireland. The site contributes to understanding the broader pattern of ecclesiastical development and settlement in seventeenth-century Ulster.
