Situated at the base of an E-facing slope on flat poorly drained land with a nearby tower house (TN042-004002) to the W. The cropmark of an enclosure (TN042-005001) around the church (TN042-005002) represents the boundary of glebe land as indicated on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map. The poorly preserved remains of a nave and chancel church (TN042-005002) of which only the S wall survives to a height of approx. 1.7m. In the chancel there is a destroyed window and aumbry in the S wall. Described in the OS Letters as a dilapidated church consisting of a nave and chancel of which the N wall is destroyed to foundation level with the E and W gables covered in ivy. The graveyard contains eighteenth and nineteenth-century headstones and is enclosed by a nineteenth-century graveyard wall.
