The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the S side of a public road on level ground in gently undulating terrain. Poorly preserved nave (int. dims. 13.2m E-W; 6.2m N-S) and chancel (int. dims. 6m E-W; 5.2m N-S) church in roughly coursed granite (wall T 0.7-1.1m; H 0.9-2.4m). There is an opening for a window in the E gable and gaps at the W end of the N and S walls. The graveyard (WI042-003002-) contains a small number of late eighteenth-century headstones to the SW of the church. A roughly semicircular enclosure (WI042-003003-) surrounds the site but does not continue to the N of the road.
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.
