The National Monuments Service's description

Within the SE sector of a graveyard (GA096-110001-)l; the remains of a medieval church (GA096-110----) stand in the NE sector. This disused 19th/20th church (c. 18m E-W; c. 7m N-S) is unroofed but the walls still stand to their original height; the E and W ends are heavily overgrown. The church was subsequently reused as a cattle byre. A pointed arched doorway with a pointed arched window on either side of it are visible in the S wall.
