A scatter of stones in the northern quadrant is all that remains above ground, and even that offers no definite trace of a wall footing. What you are looking at, more or less, is an absence where a building once stood.

The site has a paper trail that is older than anything visible on the ground. The Down Survey, a mid-seventeenth-century mapping project that recorded landholdings across Ireland in extraordinary detail, noted in its terrier for Castletown parish that in Crowinstown there stood "the walls of a chappell of ease with a Corn Mill in repaire." A chapel of ease was a secondary place of worship, built to serve parishioners who lived too far from the main parish church to attend regularly. By the time William Larkin was compiling his county map of Westmeath in 1808, the structure was already being recorded as a ruin. A field inspection carried out in October 1980 found that the surrounding land had long been under tillage, which had erased any earthworks that might otherwise have helped locate the chapel's footprint more precisely.

What does survive is the graveyard itself, and it has its own quiet interest. The enclosure is semi-circular in shape, bounded on the south-western, northern, and north-north-eastern sides by the low remains of a bank set on a natural scarp, with a shallow external fosse, or ditch, running along its outer edge. This kind of earthen enclosure is a familiar feature of early ecclesiastical sites in Ireland, and its survival here, even in degraded form, suggests the site has considerably more age to it than the seventeenth-century documentary references alone would imply.
