People have clearly been buried around it for generations, yet inside the walls themselves there are no burial markers at all, giving the interior an oddly emptied-out quality that sets it apart from the landscape of memorial stones surrounding it.

The building is rectangular and modest in scale, measuring roughly nine metres along its east-west axis and just over five metres across. Most of the east gable has been lost, which is a common enough fate for early Irish churches where the narrower end walls, often thinner or simply more exposed, tend to go first. What survives tells a quiet story of alteration over time. The north wall retains a lintelled doorway, that is, one with a flat horizontal stone laid across the top of the opening rather than a curve, positioned slightly west of centre. A later arched doorway was added into the west gable at some point, though it has since been blocked up, suggesting the building went through at least one significant phase of reuse or modification after its original construction. The windows in both the north and south walls share the same flat-headed style, with lintelled embrasures, the splayed internal recesses that help draw light into what would have been a dim interior. The combination of these features, an older lintelled door, a later arched insertion, windows consistent with early medieval or post-medieval rural ecclesiastical building, layers a modest structure with more history than its size might suggest.
