The National Monuments Service's description

On the NE-facing slope of a ridge running ridge, in pasture. The church occupies the SE angle of a small, roughly rectangular graveyard (KK030-013002-). A rectangular structure (L 15.2m; W 6.6m internally), aligned E-W, with an undifferentiated nave and chancel. It is quite ruinous, the E and W gables survive to a height of 1m, the N wall from 0.5-3m and the S wall is the best preserved, being 2.5-2.8m high. In the S wall there is a doorway, 4m from the W end, and a window, 1.3m from the E end, though only the E side survives. There are several piles of collapsed masonry, among which there is a sandstone block carved with the chamfered sill (Wth of sill 0.18) of a window.
