Its most striking feature is a west tower that seems almost too ambitious for the modest nave it fronts: a three-storey central block flanked by lower side chambers, the whole thing dressed with clasped buttresses, battlements, blind niches, and neo-Gothic detailing that gives the facade a self-consciously monumental air. Entry is through a door set into the west wall of the tower itself, and once inside the nave, four tall round-headed windows line the south wall. At the opposite end, a semicircular apse, relatively unusual in Irish Protestant church architecture of this period, contains a shallow chancel reached through a wide segmental arch.

The site has a long history of religious use. An earlier church here was already recorded as ruinous in 1615, and the present nave and tower are likely those described by Charles Smith in 1750 as a new parish church. The apse and chancel were probably added during a repair campaign in 1818. The chancel is now railed off as a private burial plot, reserved for the antiquarian Herbert Webb Gillman, whose chest tomb sits there alongside other nineteenth-century memorials in the nave. The story does not end with the ruin, either. A replacement Church of Ireland building, Christ Church, was constructed directly across the road in the mid-nineteenth century, a more conventional structure with a gabled nave, chancel, and bellcote on the west gable. That building survives in good repair and is now in private use, leaving its predecessor to a quieter afterlife among the graves.
