Its doorway is in the north wall rather than the more conventional west end, a flat-headed lintelled opening nearly two metres high, with a drawbar-hole cut into the eastern embrasure at just above knee height. A drawbar-hole is a slot into which a horizontal timber beam could be slid to secure the door from inside, a detail that gives an oddly domestic intimacy to what is otherwise a fairly plain structure. Immediately to the south-west, a ringfort occupies the same hillside, and the church sits at the northern edge of a roughly square graveyard, so the site layers several centuries of use into a relatively small area of grassland.

The church itself is an undivided rectangle, about eleven and a half metres long and nearly six metres wide internally, built from roughly coursed limestone rubble with walls between 68 and 73 centimetres thick. It is probably early post-medieval in date, meaning it likely belongs to the sixteenth or seventeenth century rather than the high medieval period. The northern and western walls still stand to between two and three and a half metres, while the eastern wall and part of the southern wall survive only as foundations. Inside, near the west end, joist-holes are cut into both the north and south walls at the same level, suggesting the church may once have had a timber gallery, a feature associated with post-Reformation worship where the accommodation of a congregation in a small building was sometimes managed by adding an upper floor. By 1839, when Ordnance Survey officers were compiling their letters on the area, a window in the west gable was still visible and could be described in some detail: wider on the inside than the outside, square-headed, and noticeably splayed, with an internal width of around 76 centimetres narrowing to just 18 centimetres on the exterior face. That splayed profile would have admitted light while limiting exposure. A medieval graveslab recorded at the site by Moore in the 1870s has since disappeared entirely, with no visible trace remaining.
