The National Monuments Service's description
Undivided nave and chancel church (int. dims. 13.2m E-W; 5.8m N-S) built of uncoursed rubble masonry. Single-light lancet E window. Two-centred chamfered arch over W doorway. Remains of plain window in E end of S wall with stone dressing indicative of late 16th-century date. An annexe, possibly a priest's quarters, adjoins church on W side and is accessed via a stairwell constructed against the inside of W gable.
