The National Monuments Service's description
Some 50m to the N of Dunsandle Castle (GA097-092001-). Only the N gable, W side-wall and a 1.5m stretch of the return of the E side-wall at the NE corner survive of this rectangular church (15.4m N-S; 7.5m E-W), which is constructed of randomly coursed mortared limestone blocks. There is no visible surface trace of the S gable. An internal dividing wall is evident. The only surviving architectural feature consists of a plain rectangular-headed window set into the apex of the N gable.
