The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. A nave and chancel church (dims. 17.2m ENE-WSW; c. 10.6m NNW-SSE) of uncoursed rubble. The walls (T 0.9m) are poorly preserved except for the NE angle which survives to a height of 1.7m and the W gable (H 2.45m) which has a central featureless window opening. There is no indication of a door. The church now lies within a modern graveyard although about one-third of an earlier circular enclosure (WI024-011002-) still survives, defined at the S and W by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 1m) and by a steep downhill slope at the E. The N portion has been removed. There are several early to mid-18th-century headstones in the graveyard.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
