The National Monuments Service's description
In the E-sector of a small roadside graveyard (KD022-011001-). Only the ivy clad, lower courses of portion of the E-gable wall survives (L 8m N-S; T 1.4m; H 1.1m) built of undressed fieldstones. Some 13.3m to the W, a drop in ground level (D1.8m) probably indicates the W-limits of the church, just beyond a modern graveplot, while two earthfast stones indicate the line of the S wall.
