There are no walls, no grave markers, no trace of dressed stone; just a roughly defined enclosure, about 25 metres north to south and 13 metres east to west, bounded on its eastern and northern sides by a road and field bank, and edged to the south by a low scarp rising between 0.3 and 1 metre. The Ordnance Survey mapped it in 1839 simply as "Site of R.C. Chapel", which suggests that even by then the building had long since disappeared.

The earliest written record of the chapel comes from a writer named Synnott, working around 1680, who noted a place of worship at Kilscoran dedicated to St. Bridget. That date places the account in the decades following the Cromwellian settlement of Ireland, a period when Catholic religious practice was officially suppressed and many chapels either fell into disuse, were demolished, or simply decayed without the means or legal permission to be repaired. Whether the Kilscoran chapel had already vanished by Synnott's time, or survived a little longer before disappearing between his account and the first Ordnance Survey mapping of the 1830s, is not clear. What is clear is that by the time cartographers came to record it, only the site itself was worth noting, not any standing fabric.
