The ruin of the Crooke Preceptory church is situated within a graveyard and is described by the
Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford (1999) as measuring in length and in width. Structural remains include three
lancet windows on the church gable, evidence of a window in the southern
chancel wall, and a doorway in the southern
nave wall with an adjacent stoup. At the time of the 1841 Ordnance Survey of Ireland, the south and west walls stood to a height of approximately , though the north and east sides had already been reduced to their foundations. The exterior footprint was recorded as by , with walls thick. The masonry consisted of large, grouted blocks of grit stone laid in regular courses, featuring prominent, chiselled
quoin stones. Interior features included an internal staircase built into the thickness of the east and south walls and a stone arch that once supported the second floor. The mortar was notably hard and contained broken shells, while the windows were quadrangular and framed in a mix of cut limestone and grit. The church is surrounded by cut-stone walls characterised as 16th or 17th-century in style. Located less than to the south is the ruined
tower house known as Crooke Castle. Built to a rectangular plan with a reputed height of , the castle survives only as two walls and the remains of a destroyed staircase. While mid-19th century records indicated that a
barrel vault was then partially extant, only fragments remain today. A
holy well site is also located near the castle. == References ==
