The walls of two churches remain within a subrectagular enclosure, possibly of early or medieval date (Harbison, Guide, p.59). The smaller church has deep antae and a lintelled doorway; inside is a slab which tradition holds indicates the grave of the founding saint. The larger and later church had a nave and chancel, but is without any features, and the walls only remain to a height of c.0.60 m.
