A small rectangular oratory or chapel, with three doors on N, W and S, and an altar against the E wall. There are square mouldings at the exterior angles.
The structure is possibly the remains of a 12thc. chapel or oratory, remodelled in the 17th-18thc. as a burial chapel for the O'Grady family (Talbot, 1990).
