The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pastureland, overlooking Caherglassaun Lough to the N. This rectangular nave (int. dims. 6m E-W; 4.2m N-S; wall T 0.68m) and chancel (3.35 E-W; 2.25 N-S) church is poorly preserved and densely overgrown. Both gables and the N side-wall survive but S side-wall has collapsed. The only architectural feature visible is a simple round-headed window in the E gable. (Fahey 1893,17)
