W gable stands to full height but upper portions of E gable and top of side walls fallen. Door ope in centre of W gable and near W end of S wall; two window opes in S wall and one each in N and E walls; all are poorly preserved. Church interior long used for burial. Parish church of Ballintemple (Power 1940, 18), according to Coleman (1913-16c) 'anciently called Ballygourney'.
