Church (ruin), former cathedral The church is ruined and roofless and consists of a nave and chancel separated by a solid wall. The nave measures c.9.9 m x 7.16 m, the chancel 13.64 m x 7.19 m. The N and E walls of the nave and most of the W wall are still intact, while only the E part of the S wall remains. The walls are of rubble. There are plain round-headed windows with an interior splay towards the E end of the N and S walls, and a damaged round-headed window in the E wall of the nave, set slightly S of centre. The chancel, which is longer than the nave, was evidently added at a later date. The N and E walls remain, as well as the lower courses of the S wall. The E wall has a 13thc. double window with pointed arches and small sculptures on the central mullion with a plaited motif and a male head. Some sculptures have been reset on top of the S wall in the centre. The lower part of a reconstructed round tower remains near the NW corner of the church.

Church (ruin) Nave and chancel church, roofless. Nave 8.28 m x 9.4 m with antae and steeply pitched gables. The nave was originally barrel-vaulted, with a step pitched stone roof over. The barrel vault of the nave was not keyed into the gable walls, which are smoothly finished above the remaining curve of the vault. Some purlin holes in the gables suggest the use of timber supports for the vault. The lower courses of a corbelled stone roof remain. The original narrow barrel vaulted altar recess was replaced by the present chancel probably c.1200. The chancel measures 5.72 x 5.1 m. externally, and also retains evidence of the springing of a corbelled vault. Evidence of the original chancel can be seen in the remains of small splayed windows to N and S and a section of barrel vaulting immediately E of the chancel arch. The nave has a decorated W doorway and chancel arch and internal wall arcades, as well as carved heads on the antae and decorated finials. There is a decorated E window in the chancel.
