Ivy-clad rectangular church (21.85m E-W; 7.9m N-S) with central doorway in W gable and occulus above; gable topped by bellcot. Four blocked windows in S wall and three in N wall. E gable replaced by neo-romanesque doorway into large vault of Earls of Bantry. Described in 1749 as a "decent parish church" (Smith 1815, Vol. 1, 285) but a new church built in 1818 (Brady 1863, Vol. 1, 166-7).
