The National Monuments Service's description
Within the SW quadrant of a rath (GA106-023001-). Very poorly preserved rectangular chapel (int. dims. 9.2m NE-SW; 4.1m NW-SE; wall T 0.4m). The SW gable (max. H 2m) is built into the bank of the enclosing rath and it is the best preserved wall. Apart from a doorway in the NE gable, no architectural features survive. A 20th-C burial vault occupies almost all of the interior.
