The National Monuments Service's description

Located on elevated ground, within a graveyard (MA022-043002-).
This church is depicted on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps as a rectangular building (7-8m ENE-WSW; 5-6m NW-SE); it is annotated ‘site of Church’ on the 1838 map and ‘Church (in Ruins)’ on the 1929 edition.
The outline of the church can no longer be traced. A remnant of a masonry wall (L 5-6m; H 2m; T c. 0.6-0.7m), on a ENE–WSW axis, may be a fragment of the church, possibly part of the S wall. A thick covering of ivy makes it difficult to examine, but it appears to be constructed of rectangular or square stone blocks, of roughly equal size. A rectangular grave plot (9m N-S; 5.4m E-W) outlined by a low mortared stone wall (Wth 0.45m; H 0.4m) is appended to the N side of the possible church wall, and encloses a 19th-century table tomb.
