The foundations describe a modest rectangular space, roughly seven metres by five internally, built from rough uncoursed rubble with a notably straight inner face. What the ruin does preserve, sitting against its southern wall, is a granite piscina, a shallow liturgical basin used by priests to drain water that had been blessed or used in sacred rites. This one is rough-hewn, about half a metre long, with a channel cut along its length feeding into a small circular bowl. It is an unambiguous sign of deliberate religious use, which makes the absence of any obvious way in or out all the more curious.

The church sits towards the western side of a subtriangular enclosure, the outline of which was already legible when the six-inch Ordnance Survey mapped the area in 1838. That enclosure, roughly 29 metres by 25 metres, is defined mostly by a low earthen bank, between three and four metres wide but only about forty centimetres high today. Along the northern side, something different was done: a line of upright stone slabs was set to mark the inner face of the bank, a detail that distinguishes this from a purely utilitarian boundary and hints at a more considered, perhaps ceremonial, layout. Enclosures of this kind surrounding early Irish churches are generally understood as ecclesiastical precincts, demarcating consecrated ground from the surrounding landscape, though the precise date and dedication of this particular foundation remain unrecorded.
