Between them they tell only the roughest outline of a building. The rest has been swallowed by centuries of burials, the later headstones and grave surrounds pressing so close that the full plan of the church can no longer be traced at ground level. A possible doorway opening survives in the south wall, but it is obscured by exactly this kind of post-1700 memorial. There are no carved details, no window fragments, nothing to suggest ornament or period. Just rough stone, and the faint geometry of a lost structure.

The church sits on a natural rise with open views in every direction, which in itself says something about how the site was chosen. Sixty metres to the south stood a medieval castle, and roughly two hundred and twenty metres to the west lies St. Dermot's Well, the whole cluster of features suggesting a settlement of some coherence and local significance. The 1659 Down Survey map of Moygoish barony, a detailed cartographic project carried out under the direction of William Petty following the Cromwellian land settlement, shows the church still standing beside the castle. But the terrier, the written document accompanying the parish map, records a striking detail: by that point the church at Rathaspick had been, in the words of the document itself, 'Transformed into a Barne'. The building had already passed out of religious use and into agricultural service. By the time the Ordnance Survey produced its six-inch map in 1837, the structure was shown standing in the northern quadrant of the graveyard, but the conversion into a barn had sealed its fate as architecture. What the graveyard has since done is preserve the walls just enough to confirm the church existed, while making it almost impossible to read what it once looked like.
