It measures barely a metre and a half east to west and rises to around three metres at its highest point. This unremarkable fragment is all that remains above ground of Teampull an Lobhair, a name translated as the Church of the Lepers, suggesting a past association with those who were excluded from ordinary parish life and often cared for at dedicated chapels or hospitals on the margins of settlements.

The site has been dissolving into the landscape for a long time. The Ordnance Survey six-inch map of 1842 appears to place the church slightly to the south-west of the present stump, on ground now occupied by a grain warehouse. There it is depicted as a small rectangular structure, roughly seven metres by four, labelled both as Templealour in Ruins and as the site of a graveyard. By 1912 a photograph shows the masonry stump much as it appears today. A description by Power in 1932 records walls that were still standing to four or five feet in height, with one corner reaching eight feet, and noted that they were battered externally, meaning they sloped slightly outward at the base for added stability, and strongly built with walls three feet thick. Whether Power was describing the stump that survives or the remnants of the structure shown further south-west on the 1842 map is not entirely clear.

The stump is visible from the field boundary on the south side of the village, near the slope edge above the Funshion. It is easy to overlook, sitting as it does beside a working agricultural shed with no formal marker, but the combination of its name, its marginal position above the river, and its quiet disappearance beneath a century of ivy gives it a particular kind of weight.
