By 1633, Bishop Steere was calling it 'Teampull Dromid' and noting, with what reads as mild ecclesiastical disapproval, that the incumbent minister was one Donell ffanning, whose wife declined to attend church. Within a century of that visit, the building was already in ruins. What remains today stands northwest of Coomduff ridge, a short distance south of the Inny river, its ivy-covered walls rising to an average of 2.6 metres, the interior overgrown and occupied by graves.

The church's history reaches back even further than Ffanning and his absentee wife. Under the name 'Drumad', it appears in the Papal Taxation List of 1302 to 1306 for the diocese of Ardfert, which tells us it was a functioning parish church with enough standing to be assessed for taxation by Rome. The building itself is rectangular, measuring 18.3 metres by 5.8 metres internally, with walls of coursed rubble and roughly dressed quoins bonded in lime and gravel mortar. The east gable retains a narrow window described in earlier surveys as being formed in a 'very rude style of hammered stones', only its lower portion surviving. The south wall features a pointed doorway built from neatly coursed jambs and an arch of pitched slate slabs with a sandstone keystone, and a drawbar socket remains set into the embrasure, a small detail that makes the building's former life as a locked and functioning space suddenly tangible. Several windows use thinly sectioned slate slabs as jambs, one of them barely 45 centimetres high. The west gable has begun to lean inward under the weight of centuries, and stone collapse has gathered at its base like sediment.
