Church of Ireland church (ruin) A roofless nave and chancel church, with walls and gables intact. The upper parts of the N and S walls were probably restored in the 16thc. The elaborately carved W portal was surmounted by a tangent gable. The N wall of the nave has a round-headed window in the centre and a square window of rougher masonry towards the E end. The S wall has two round-headed windows. The chancel arch leads into a small rectangular chancel, originally vaulted and two-storied, with a plain square opening in the gable above the chancel arch. In the N wall of the chancel is a square opening with the sill c. 0.3m from the ground (a later door opening?). Two round-headed windows in the E gable lit the upper and lower storeys of the chancel. Sandstone is used for quoins, windows and door openings, otherwise the building is of uncoursed limestone. The dimensions of the nave are 12.03m x 7.23m, those of the chancel are 3.65 m x 2.6 m. The loose sculpture and some moulded fragments that were recorded in 1994 were no longer on the site in 2002.

Church Nave and chancel church, with recently restored W gable and window, and repairs to the chancel arch with a modern concrete lintel. The chancel has low walls built of large blocks, mainly granite and sandstone, with diagonal tooling on some of the sandstone blocks. The nave, wider and higher than the chancel, appears to be a later addition, with cruder stonework of rough boulders, not properly bonded to the chancel. It has a pointed W window, and round-headed windows on N and S at E end of nave. S doorway at W end of nave. E gable window destroyed. There may have been another window in the N nave wall opposite the S doorway, where there is a destroyed section of wall.

Church (ruin) The church consists of a nave measuring 17.5 x 5.6 m internally, with walls of rough uncoursed limestone and ashlar quoins. It is roofless, but the walls are intact and the W wall and doorway restored. A small mortuary was added to the E of the church in 1667. There is a flat-headed door on the N side, a 15thc. door on the S side, and windows at the E end of the N and S walls. The W door incorporates reused Romanesque stones and the E window is Romanesque, both probably built into a later medieval church.
