Cathedral Nave and chancel church with the remains of a southern transept, the site of a northern transept , and a sacristy projecting northwards from the chancel. The nave appears to be the earliest part of the building, possibly dating from the 10thc., with antae projecting from both the east and west ends. The chancel is probably an early 13thc. addition, whilst the transepts, sacristy and tower are 15thc. additions. The impressive Romanesque west portal is probably an insertion to the original single cell building.

Church (ruin) Rectangular church, 20.47 m x 7.16 m, roofless but with walls standing almost to full height. There is evidence of a smaller, earlier church in the massive masonry blocks in W and N walls, and an off-centre trabeated W doorway with inclined jambs. The church appears to have been extended to the E and S of the original structure in the early 13thc. It was originally 8.51 m wide at the E end. The S wall was later rebuilt N of its 13thc. position, narrowing the church and partially blocking an aumbry on the S side of the E wall. There are plain windows, one on the N and two on the S wall. A double window in the E wall has transitional sculpture. This is flanked by double aumbries, partially blocked on the S by the rebuilt S wall. A transitional doorway has been reset in the S wall.

Two loose stones (one with Romanesque sculpture) have been set on a plain stone altar at the E end of the chancel. There is an early cross-slab in the SW corner of the nave. The church is roofless, but walls survive to a h. of c. 4 m. Romanesque sculpture is found on the elaborately carved W doorway.
