The National Monuments Service's description

The remains consist of the gables and N wall of a simple rectangular structure aligned E-W, which is slightly wider at the E (dims. 18m x 7.7m; H. 9.2m). O'Donovan mentions a small 'gothic arch', which is no longer extant (OSL 1837,4). The church is constructed of roughly coursed limestone and granite, and stands within a sub-circular graveyard (diam. c. 60m) enclosed by a modern wall. Most of the gravestones are eighteenth century, but there are are two granite graveslabs of uncertain date, each inscribed with a Latin cross.
