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 (ruin) A ruined church consisting of a long, narrow nave (7.2 m x 18 m). The N wall and the E gable are intact. The W wall remains to c.2-3 m, the S wall to c.0.5 m. Large stones surviving the S wall suggest the remains of a pre-Romanesque church. There is a plain round-headed E window and some reused fragments of Romanesque sculpture in the W doorway, and built into the graveyard wall, along with some loose fragments. One further block of chevron from this site is now located in the grounds of Carrig Parish Church at Ballycommon(Power, 1998).

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 The site includes two churches and the base of a round tower. The larger church, with a nave and chancel, has been considerably altered. The internal measurements of the present nave are 12.6 m x 5.7 m and the chancel 8.15 m x 4.92 m. It was originally a single-chamber church with antae at the E end, of which the N and E walls now form the N and E walls of the chancel. Foundations remain of a chancel, which was added to the E of this. The original nave was made into a new chancel in the 15thc., and a new nave was built to the W of this (but possibly never completed). The chancel is barrel-vaulted with a stairway to living quarters on the upper floor (Probably added in the 15thc.). The nave has doorways at the W end of the N and S walls, and windows at the E end of the N and S walls. The chancel arch and N doorway incorporate reused Romanesque fragments, and there are Romanesque fragments set around the S doorway, above the N window, and in the W window of the upper chamber.
