The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as a rectangular roofed building aligned NW-SE on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map where it is described in gothic lettering as a ‘Church’. It is situated on a slight ridge in a low-lying landscape. A low grassy scarp (L 7m; H 0.1-0.2m) survives with no visible evidence of an enclosure or burial. It may be a penal church. The holy well (RO001-008----) is c. 60m to the W.
