The National Monuments Service's description
In rich level pasture, set within irregular-shaped stonewall. Rectangular-shaped church (7.5m N-S; 17.9m E-W), built of roughly coursed stonework on a stone plinth. E gable (H 8.5m) contains pair of lancets above a relieving arc, of a possible blocked niche. Part of splayed window on S wall. Later tower house (MA121-107002-) built on internal W end of church, making use of church walls. May have been a castellated church.
