The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle W-facing slope. Described in the OS Letters of 1838-40 as a ruined church (WI019-024001-), of which only parts of the S wall and E gable still stood; the remains of a door were visible in the W gable, part of a window survived in the E gable, and there were two small windows in the S wall. They also state that the rectangular graveyard (dims. c. 50m NW-SE; 35m NE-SW) was no longer in use (O'Flanagan 1928, 87). An eighteenth-century headstone occurs inside the E gable of the church.
