What makes this site quietly compelling is the layering of abandonment: by 1615 the original medieval church was already in ruins, and by 1702 it had been formally written off as a roofless ruin "of no use". A Church of Ireland building then rose on precisely the same ground in 1809, and that too is now little more than a fragment.

The 1809 church replaced whatever remained of the earlier structure, and Samuel Lewis, writing in 1837, described it as "a small plain edifice with a low tower and spire", a modest building by any measure. It was named St. John's Church on the Ordnance Survey six-inch maps of the period. Today, parts of the north, east, and west walls of its rectangular footprint, roughly fifteen metres east to west and ten metres north to south, survive to about a metre in height, heavily overgrown with vegetation. The site sits inside a graveyard, which is itself part of the longer continuum: the ground has held the dead of this parish across multiple centuries, even as the buildings raised to serve the living fell one by one into silence.
