The church consists of a nave measuring 17.5 x 5.6 m internally, with walls of rough uncoursed limestone and ashlar quoins. It is roofless, but the walls are intact and the W wall and doorway restored. A small mortuary was added to the E of the church in 1667. There is a flat-headed door on the N side, a 15thc. door on the S side, and windows at the E end of the N and S walls. The W door incorporates reused Romanesque stones and the E window is Romanesque, both probably built into a later medieval church.

There is no early historical evidence of the site, but the low remains of a circular enclosure in the fields suggests that it may have been an early Christian site.

Clyne compares the plant ornament to examples at Dysert O'Dea, Clonfert, Monaincha and Tuam Cathedral; the spiral scroll-work to Tuam, Killeshin and Liathmore; and the chevron forming lozenges on the arris to the Nun's Church, Clonmacnoise, St Saviour's, Glendalough, Monaincha and Killaloe. The closest comparisons for the foliage scrolls appear to be those on the colonnettes of Dysert O'Dea's S door and the abaci of Clonfert's W door; the closest comparisons for the spiral scrolls are on the abaci and capitals of Tuam chancel arch. These comparisons suggest a date in the later phase of Irish Romanesque, although the fragmentary state of the doorway makes it difficult to date with any precision.
