The National Monuments Service's description
On a small headland jutting into a tidal bay. A rectangular building, on an E-W axis, annotated 'Church in ruins' is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map, with another building on a NE-SW axis immediately to the W. Neither building is shown on the 1921 edition, where the location is marked 'Church (Site of)'. There is no visible trace of the church.
