It stands to its full height, which might suggest good preservation, but the upper edges have been straightened and fitted with a coping at some point, giving it a steeper pitch than the original would have had. The result is a gable that looks almost complete and yet is subtly wrong, a quiet piece of amateur restoration that has reshaped what survives. High on that gable is a plain rebuilt ope, possibly a window, though it is largely masked by ivy. The interior of the building is no longer a floor but a field of grave plots, the dead having long since taken over from any other use.

The church was a rectangular structure, running roughly east to west across about twenty-five metres, and just under six metres wide. Its parish name was Rathgogin, and by 1615 it had already been recorded as in ruins, a detail noted by Brady in his mid-nineteenth century compilation of ecclesiastical records. What remains today is fragmentary: a short section of the east wall still stands, the north wall survives in low, ivy-covered stretches, and a length of walling beside the Lillis plot may be the last trace of the south wall. Two opes, openings in the wall, survive towards the east end of the north wall, and the wider of the two, at around 1.8 metres across, is thought most likely to be original. Much of the rest has been absorbed into the graveyard that surrounds and fills it, the stonework gradually losing definition beneath vegetation and generations of burial.
