A nave and chancel church (9.6m x 7.15m, 6.1m x 5.3m) probably built after 1537. It has a reused Romanesque window in the S wall of the chancel and two Gothic lancets in the E wall.
The church is not mentioned in the list of major buildings in Ferns in 1537.
The decoration on the interior of the S window is very similar to that of the jambs of the W doorway at Clone, and the window was probably taken from the church at Clone (Leask, 1955, 163). The Gothic exterior of the S window and the E windows were probably taken from the cathedral at Ferns.
