The National Monuments Service's description
This church is situated at the E end of a graveyard (MA011-005002-), adjacent to a NW-SE roadway beyond which is Sruwaddacon Bay. The E, S and W walls of the church have been removed. The N wall (L 9.35m: Wall T 0.56m; H 2.4m) constructed of roughly coarsed masonry survives to almost its original height except at the E end where it has been incorporated into a modern wall and a modern gate pillar erected beside it. There is a holy well (MA011-006----) 500m to S.
