The National Monuments Service's description
Within the NE corner of a graveyard (GA096-110001-) in pastureland. All that survives of this medieval church is the E gable (Wth c. 9m) and the returns of the N (L 2.1m; wall T 0.75m) and S (L 1.05m) side-walls. The N wall is incorporated into the enclosing wall of the graveyard. The only intact architectural feature is a two-light ogee-headed window in the E gable. Some worked stone, including fragments of ogee heads, have been placed at the broken end of the S wall. (Holt 1910, 147; O’Flanagan 1927a Vol. 1, 174; McCaffrey 1952, 159, no. 42)
