What is unusual here is not dramatic collapse or romantic decay, but a kind of quiet erasure: by the time surveyors examined the site in March 1984, none of the walls had survived to their original height, and not a single architectural feature remained. No window tracery, no carved doorway, no legible stonework. The church had been built from roughly cut mortared limestone, a common enough material in Connacht, but whatever form or ornament it once carried had long since gone.

The building was rectangular in plan, running roughly fourteen metres east to west and just under five metres wide internally, with a northern transept adding a further wing to the structure. In its proportions it would have been a modest building, typical of rural parish or monastic churches found across the west of Ireland. When inspected in 1984, the east gable wall stood to about two metres and the north wall of the transept to about two and a half metres, making these the best-preserved sections of the ruin. Two gaps in the south wall, each roughly one and a half metres wide, may once have been windows or doorways, though the stonework offered no firm evidence either way. Ivy had taken hold across much of the structure, obscuring what little remained. More recent aerial imagery suggests the ivy has since been cleared, which will have exposed the stonework more fully, though it cannot have revealed features that are simply no longer there.

The interior of both the nave and the transept had, by the late twentieth century, been absorbed entirely into the surrounding graveyard, with nineteenth and twentieth-century burials occupying the space within the walls. This is not uncommon in Irish ruins of this kind; the enclosure of a former church often retained a particular sanctity in local memory long after the building itself had fallen, and families continued to bury their dead inside the old walls for generations. The graveyard itself remains active, which means the ruins are set within a maintained space rather than left to open countryside.
