The National Monuments Service's description

On the edge of a steep E-facing slope in rolling pasture. A stream runs c. 50m to the E, with the River Suir c. 200m also to the E. The church is positioned on the S side of a graveyard (TS081-056003-), aligned E-W (dims. 8.55m x 17.8m externally), constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble and is heavily covered with ivy. The E gable (wall T 0.7m) has largely collapsed, though the NE corner survives. At the E end of the N wall (H c. 3.5m; T 0.9m) there is a single-light window. At the W end of the N wall there is a straight-sided opening (1.04m Wth) which was probably the original doorway, though no door surrounds survive. The W gable has collapsed internally and only survives to a height of 1-1.5m. The S wall (H 3m; T 0.8m) survives for much of its length, though there is a section of rebuild (3m L) consisting of a later narrow wall, c. 4.15m from the SW corner. At the E end of the S wall there is a window embrasure, only the W side of which survives. The wall E of this has collapsed and has been rebuilt. The interior contains a lot of rubble and is very overgrown with vegetation.
