Ruined church
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.

In the Chapter House of the ruined church are six voussoirs with human heads, found in 1865 during demolition of the 17thc. tower, where they had been reused as building stones.
Church
Ruined church situated centrally within graveyard. The church consists of an earlier nave (internal dimensions 10.7m x 7.5m) and of a later chancel (6.6m x 7.5m.). Traces of antae are preserved at either end of the N wall and at the E end of the S wall of the nave. A doorway inserted at the W end of the S wall with a now destroyed porch, has obliterated any trace of an antae at this angle. There is a plain pointed chancel arch (w. 1.95m) framed by a rectangular projection on both wall faces, and a pointed arch externally over SE door with a lintel on the interior, this doorway is framed by a similar rectangular projection. There is a single light slit in the S wall and a double ogee-headed light centrally positioned in the E wall.
