The National Monuments Service's description

Towards the N end of a small triangular-shaped graveyard (KD023-003001-). The surviving upstanding remains comprise the E and W gable walls of a rectangular structure (int dims. 11.6m E-W; 5.7m N-S), built of uncoursed mortared limestone flags and boulders, with granite quoins and mouldings. The E gable wall contains the remains of a robbed-out three-light window, while the window in the W gable wall has three very narrow lancets with granite mouldings, round heads, small external pointed hoods and pointed rubble rear arches. The N and S sidewalls are traceable as grassed-over foundation lines. The church may date to the 14th-century.
