The National Monuments Service's description

Only a featureless portion of the E wall of Ballynakill church (SL027-094001-) is now upstanding (L 8m; H 1.4m; T 0.9m). Built against the base of its W face is a pile of mortared stone which includes a moulded jambstone. These may be part of a window surround, possibly the 'lancet window' mentioned by O'Rorke ([1889], vol. 2, 249).
