No walls survive, no foundations protrude from the ground, no trace of the building remains to indicate that anything was ever there at all.

The church was built in 1816, a period when religious construction across Ireland was accelerating in the years before Catholic Emancipation, with congregations raising modest structures that ranged from simple rubble-walled chapels to more ambitious dressed-stone buildings. Whatever form the Gowlane church took, nothing of it has endured above ground. Its existence is known only from the Ordnance Survey Name Books, a series of nineteenth-century volumes compiled alongside the first large-scale mapping of Ireland, in which local details including place names, buildings, and points of interest were recorded by surveyors and their informants. That the church was noted there at all means it was standing, or at least recent enough to be remarked upon, when those surveys were being carried out. What happened to it afterwards is not recorded.
