The National Monuments Service's description

Undivided nave and chancel church (int. dims. 16.7m E-W; 7.1m N-S) built of roughly coursed limestone. Chancel lit by single-light E window with pointed head, cusped tracery and external beaded hood-moulding. Doorway was probably in W end of S wall. Davies (1948, 78) recorded 'a rectangular ope with internal jambs of rough ashlar' at the E end of N wall. Within the graveyard are several architectural fragments now utilised as grave-markers.

The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
