The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a N-facing slope in hilly pasture, at the NW corner of a graveyard (SL018-029003-). Sixteenth century, limestone-built parish church (16.9m E-W; 7.2m N-S; Wall T 0.95m). The N wall and the N 2/3 of the E wall have been removed. The E wall had a large window of which only the S jamb survives. The S wall has a large blocked-up window at the W end and a single light window at the E end. Also at the E end is a piscina. The W gable survives to full height. At the S end of this wall is a broken out entrance which provided access to the adjacent tower house (SL018-029001-) 5.5m E.
