What remains is a kind of roofless shell that retains enough architectural detail to read clearly as a designed building rather than a ruin in the usual sense: a pinnacled tower at the west corner, an entrance porch at the south corner, and a shallow chancel projection at the northeast end of the rectangular plan.

The church was built in 1825, and is recorded in Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, published in 1837. Lewis's dictionary, a standard reference work of the period, surveyed parishes and settlements across the country and frequently noted newly built or recently established churches of the Established Church, many of which had been funded or encouraged by the Board of First Fruits, the body then responsible for financing Church of Ireland construction. Whether or not that body was involved here, the 1825 date places it squarely within a period of significant Protestant church building in rural Ireland. The building sits in the northern half of a graveyard that continues in use, which gives the roofless structure a particular quality: it occupies the same ground as the living dead, still legible as a place of worship, yet hollowed out by a century of abandonment since its closure.
